that's just me though, others may disagree because they don't know better

The Flutophone in grade school does NOT count though

Ha! Never heard of that before. Funny name. Although, back in music school, we had to play a "recorder", 'cause that was what was used in elementary schools for teaching a basic understanding of music. (A recorder is kind of like a short plastic clarinet, with only finger holes, no key mechanisms.) I probably still have it around here somewhere.

In my personal conversations with Michael Tilson Thomas, Yuja Wang, Leonidas Kavakos and Mori Kina among others they don't think one needs to have ever played an instrument to understand and appreciate music or sound quality.

But what would any of those people know about either?

  Scott, leave it be. You're not changing anyone's mind and just irritate folks with your arrogant attitude.
