A slur? Why?

Who cares what people want to do with their money.

Buy once cry once.

It's really common advice to not start with the cheapest gear. Yes a lot of us learned to play on dime store guitars but would have suffered less with a quality instrument. The same is true for just about everything.

No not to start with cheapest gear, but get the cheapest one that makes sense, then upgrade it to the best you can afford once you like it.

Makes sense as in the recommended entry level equipment, not the cheap waste from aliexpress/amazon.

This way you can get the feel of the hobby before you plunge a huge load of money on it.

Exactly. I started learning harmonica on those $20 pack of 8 and struggled for weeks to get anything to sound close to what I wanted. When I spent $60 on a decent instrument, I could suddenly do what I'd been practicing. There's a sweet spot for getting good enough equipment to actually learn without blowing the budget on something you may not continue doing

[–] [email protected] 56 points 4 months ago

Right and top end is several hundreds or thousands. So $60 is cheap just not cheapest.

Why?

Because „being asshole because of phone“ is soooooo 2010 and gatekeeping normally doesn’t feel good enough anymore.
