Obviously the unsolicited mail I just got can only come from Sagittarius Handpan / Hand Pan Drum US (or they sold their mailing list to someone...).
2nd hand handpan/tank drum resale website (only in Spanish).

"Buenos días:

How is this a viable business? And surely none of the pictures used on that website has got permission?

Some people really are persistent !!

Persistent at failure.

Sure are a lot of people starting "businesses" in this subculture nowadays...

I've received a few of these emails recently as well.

Haven't had time to bring it to the forum. Thank you, Broussel2, for doing so.

In light of Guitargonut's recent post, this should be very interesting....

Weak Sauce. What a bunch of d-bags. They used some XP pictures and video too.

Etc. etc. The usual bragging style, like Tzevaot last year (BTW : "Teddy, VP of Tzevaot graduate today from Musicians Institute", on Tzevaot's FB page, so : congrats ! and now, back to work on handpans ?) or Peaceandbang last month... Usually it's meant not to go any further...

"Teddy, VP of Tzevaot graduate today from Musicians Institute"

He got a BM or took a BM from Musicians Institute..
Seems to me he already had a BM just like his dad, A BIG BM

The mail is sent by "Fernando Alvarez" and I can't swear if it comes from Sagittarius... But their list is the only reason I can get a commercial email in Spanish about handpans in this mailbox.

Though, obviously, this guy at Sagittarius can write English while the compraventahandpan.org website sends us back to Google translator. So I guess he sold the mailing list or transmitted it to a partner.

I don't know what a BM is but he's a VP (in his family)... Well, anyway, in some way, I'd like to see them learn from past mistakes and achieve something. But since last year PS store opened, more people are making shells good or bad and so many people took the hammer that I'm losing the count... They're far, far behind, with their (now gone) vid of one only tuned note. Too much people to put out of business !

[Spike]

I'm the VP of my company.. Also the COO, CFO, CEO, EVP, DEA, EVP, CIA and a few other things


BM = Abreviation for Bowell Movement. ie: Took a dump
