I can appreciate the attitude. When I was in undergraduate school, my
instructor had a nine-key clarinet and wanted me to play the Mozart Rondo
with it. It didn't take long for me to decide that the only thing I could
do any worse with was the bassoon. (I just don't have enough thumbs. <g>)
He could play it, but I just couldn't grasp it. (Pun intended.)
