Terry,

Beginners need an instrument that performs in a way that is predictable, both 
in feel and in sound.  The better the instrument, the more likely they are to 
play it.  If something feels uneven, and sounds like broken glass, why would 
they want to play?  

I think we've all been in this situation before.  It's uncomfortable.  You 
did the right thing.
