I pity your kids!!! Hopefully most of them will have moved out by then.
Under the Geneva convection, it is considered torture for parents like you [who know they can't sing] to sing for more than 5 minutes a day more than 3 metres from the bathroom when the kids are in the house. You have been forewarned.
On a serious note though, the next time you go for Mugithi - no guitar in most Ohangla joints - walk to the one man guitar and ask for tips. You will be surprised how helpful he might end up being. You can actually pass by a joint you know they play live music purposely to ask about the guitar.
Asking the fellows in a shop is not the best idea especially when you don't know much about what you are buying. almost always they will be pushing a certain product because it has a bigger margin, it's not moving, it's old/dead stock, they are getting kickbacks from the suppliers etc. You need first hand information from elsewhere.
Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.
