Objective differences in instrument playing is the major issue. Sound
quality we have given you.....and has been discussed. I maintain that
instrument playing, a broad description to say the least, encompasses more
than what sounds best. It cannot be reliably tested except by perhaps an
enormous control group with identical instruments. Where do we find
these? One of your last messages said that the instruments were
manufactured by the testers (scientists.....people running the tests).
You mean, these fellows got it right when no one else did?
