But you might! A new instrument can inspire you and make you want to play more music and that can lead to improvement.

All things considered, the Medieval isn't all that expensive. All you are really risking is approx. $100 if buying new (because you can resell on eBay) and practically nothing if you buy it used.

I agree; a new instrument can inspire you. But many people tend to fall into the so-called "gear trap", especially those of us who work in tech.

I was not referring to the "Medieval" in specific, but just lamenting about losing the forest for the trees. It's a bit like the monthly, "the perfect note-taking tool" discussion cycle we get into here on HN.

If you're conscious of the potential gear trap, more power to you. :-)
