The Best Equipment
Wednesday, April 15th, 2009You can have the best computer, but not know how to turn it on.
Own the oldest violin and not know how to saw a simple tune.
Buy the fastest car and not feel confident spinning it to its potential.
Or harbour the grandest piano but not know how to play.
While having the best equipment is important for professionals taking their performance to the highest level, it’s not necessary for the beginner.
In “Hey Arthur!” Muffy boasts of her beautiful violin, but cannot make it sound good for the life of her, while Binky manages to make a headed-for-the-dumps violin’s notes soar.
The best equipment can only help you so far. What matters more is your skill in execution.
