Actually, Noel, you've forgotten about all the other musicians who don't buy their own instruments... Violinists, cellists, violists... You know, the ones who play those $1 000 000 Strads that they have on permanent loan from philanthropists.
I'm still waiting for a justification for a toaster when a real instrument can be acquired for the same price or less.
So from an economic standpoint, it actually makes more sense to invest in an instrument that more players will get the opportunity to enjoy.
BTW- if Jackson uses that $2.00 word, "simulacra," just one more time...
I swear everytime he's milked that esotericism some poor infant cries out in hunger and a dad has to get out a 1:00am bottle!
