There used to be a guy in Chicago who knew a little bit of trumpet playing
(being in the CSO) trumpet making (owning his own manufacturing company) and
teaching, too. Renold Schilke insisted that in an ideal world, it was the
*students* who should have the top line instruments--they need the help
more.

<< Owning a Ferrari does not make you a better driver, it just gives
you a little more POTENTIAL to grow. But is that much potential really
WORTH it when you only intend to drive three blocks to church on Sunday?
In other words, get a good handle on WHERE you are GOING with music before
you pick your "vehicle." >>

Excellent metaphor- I've never thought of it that way.
