I like to think I play the spoons pretty well. Will allow that they are not appropriate for every application.

I absolutely detest the sound of sampled horns. It's really keen that anyone who can play a keyboard can now play the horns... but even the best sample still does not have the crisp ringing tone of a REAL horn.

Let me say here that I love the Highland pipes but I think I'm going to bust the next piper that plays Amazing Grace within my earshot.
