Re: Friendly reminder
In terms of getting a clear view of the actual tone of the instrument, you are correct.
But I actually love playing in a room with walls covered in well tuned instruments.
I love Schoenberg Guitars in Tiburon Ca for this reason.
The shop is one long room, with vintage and high end guitars covering every inch.
When you chop a mandolin chord, the whole room comes alive with a subtle etherial choir of sympathetic string vibration.
It is quite beautiful.
