Good friend of mine confused me when he said "The best fiddler in the world has never seen a violin" "WHAT ??" says I ! - "One day he'll see one , and he WILL be the best fiddler in the world"    Its his argument for IF you want to play an instrument , play as many as you can 'til you find which one is for you . I can get away with Guitar , banjo , and mandolin , used to play Clarinet and Sax , but my BEST instrument has to be Whistle - I can plays some Jazz standards far better on Whistle than I ever could on Sax , and that's with having to fake the accidentals !
