If you recall, I bought this with my winter bonus exactly 10 years ago. I bought it with the winter bonus of my first year after graduation.
It was really a joke of an opportunity.
A few months later, I was at the home of a senpai who was a member of my orchestra in college.
For some reason, my horn player at the time and my trumpet player friend attended a gathering of stringed instruments at the sempai’s parents’ house.
We were so jealous of the string ensemble that everyone was playing in that night that we
「これからはゼッタイに弦だよね！」
“Oh, well, let’s get started!”
“What about the instruments?”
“I’m sure you can get by with your bonus this winter.”
「よし、そのとき一緒に買って一緒にはじめてどっちが先にオケでデビューするか勝負だな」
and we had that conversation while we were both drinking and listening to the wonderful ensemble.
It’s been 10 years since then. In the end, I was the only one who started the orchestra, and I was the only one who started it in earnest, but such a small conversation led to the present.
おかげで世界も広がって、友人もたくさん増えました。
