I can tell a difference both ways, and when others play I can tell
difference to a much smaller degree. When John Yeh plays, I can never
tell a difference. I think that is because he could play a garbage can
with a twig tied to it and make it sound like a clarinet.

Seriously........the first sentence is accurate. Thanks for the question.
