Help me

Hello, I'm Paulo Gabriel, a percussion student. I started my studies in 2023. I built my own marimba due to the high price of a marimba in Brazil. It's a very elitist instrument, and it's unlikely that someone from the outskirts of the city like me would have access to one without going to university. Since I built it, I've been studying every day. As you can follow on my Instagram @paulo_marimgab. Despite having my own marimba, it has many defects, as I built it without ever having seen a marimba up close. This amount would be used to buy a semi-professional one, so that I can further advance my studies with the goal of: becoming qualified enough to take entrance exams for universities outside of Brazil, so that I can fulfill my dream of becoming a marimba concert soloist.
