Another set back

May 27, 2010 16:20

The Phoenix has suffered an injury. The right f-hole collapsed under the pressure of the medium tension strings. I instantly took the bridge off and lowered the tension.300$ worth of repairs easily. I don't even have money to eat on! I'm on the verge of a major breakdown. I always seem to get two steps in the right direction and then I suddenly get pushed back to nothing.
