I just noticed (after typing in haste and hitting "send" without
proofreading) that I wrote something too illiterate to make sense. Sorry!
Here's what I meant:

There's a similar legend about Jascha Heifetz. While Heifetz was putting
away his violin after a concert, a fan walked into the green room and said
to him, "Your violin has such a lovely tone!"

Heifetz held up the violin, looked at it for a moment and said, "Really? I
don't hear anything...."
