Craig,

I believe what you're trying to say is that the craft and the art of playing
the instrument are one in the same thing. In my opinion the two are completely
different. Craft has to do with playing the actual instrument, which I believe
you are speaking about. Craft is not art, however, it can be mistaken for art.
Something to think about.

Best wishes,
Michael Norsworthy
