Greetings,
Well, that gobsmacks me! Playing and tuning are two totally different
skill sets.
I don't know of a single race car driver that can tune their engine as
well as a professional engine builder. I don't know any surgeon that can
sharpen a scapel as well as the instrument makers that do it for a living, and I
don't know a single virtuoso violinist that builds his own instrument.
