アンプ

ギター用のアンプを買うため, 楽器屋を訪れた.
同じ価格帯でも様々な商品が並んでいたが,
初心者には違いが全くわからない.
売り場で迷っていると, ギター暦7年とかいう店員に絡まれた.
使い方から品質の違いに至るまで親切に説明してくれたが,
結局, 彼も自宅で実際に使っているという製品に決めた.
逆に言えば, 売り手が使いたくも無いような製品を
買い手が安心して使えるわけも無い.
自国産の野菜を決して口にせずに, 日本産の野菜を
高値で買い漁る金持ちの中国人の話を思い出す.

選んだアンプは思いのほか重量があったので帰りは苦労したが,
自宅に帰ってさっそくケーブルをつないで鳴らしてみると, 
いかにもエレクトリックギターらしい音が出せたので,
ちょっと感動した. 電子ドラム用のスピーカーとしても使えるので,
良い買い物をしたと思った.

I visited a music store to buy an amplifier for guitar,
Though there were a lot of products,
I was not so familier with them
that I could recognize the differences.
When I stood thinking about which one to get,
a clerk came to help me, who said he has played guitar for 7 years.
He was so courteous that he explained to me
from how to use an amplifier to their difference.
Finally I decided to purchase the product that he also use at his home.
I wondered if a buyer could like a product
that the seller wouldn't want to use?
This idea reminded me of rich Chinese who never eat
the toxic vegetable of their own country.

When I strum on the guitar connected to the amplifier at home,
I heard a good sound, the very one I believe of electric guitar,
which was worth having carried the heavy object for a long distance.
I also found I can use it for a speaker for electric drums.
I'd call it a good bargain.
