Where can I buy a guitar in Romania? And for how much?

Question

I will be moving to Romania in a few months and I have a cheap guitar that I dont want to pay shipping for. Do you know how much it costs to get an ok guitar in Romania and where I could find one?

Well, it depends if you are in the city or country first of all. But if you are looking for a cheap guitar and you are in a moderate sized city, go to the "piatza de vechituri" or flea market.  In Oradea, it is on Sunday mornings and you can find all sorts of wonderful things, among them, I am sure you can find a quite decent guitar, perhaps an older one that is probably better quality than the factory made ones that are in the stores.  If you want new, there are many music shoppes to choose from.  For example, there is a large department store "Crisul" in Oradea that has a department that sells many items from reeds and slide oil up to instruments and keyboards.  I know this particular department sells guitars, so just look for a large department store in your area or ask some friends where a good music store is.  But the flea market would be my first bet...just for the fun of it :)
