I play the accordion, so I try to avoid making fun of other people's choice of instruments.

I used to know the most amazing banjo player. He was a confectioner by trade, but he could easily have played the banjo professionally. One of his signature pieces was one that involved re-tuning the banjo as he played it. It was stunning to watch and to hear.

On the down side, he was the only person I knew who could (and did) play 'Lady of Spain' ;-)
