"Have you ever said..."
"I'd like to own an organ, but I'd like to be certain I can play before I buy one."
"My wife says it's silly to buy an organ when I've never played before. It's like her buying a sewing machine without knowing how to sew."
"We'd like our children to play the organ. We'd even like to play ourselves, but I'm afraid we don't have any musical talent."
