Exactly. That's why I always "simplify", when trying to educate the 
customer. I've found that most players want control. Period. Brightness, 
darkness, charm, etc., are just traits. When selling a service, be it 
regulating or voicing or whatever, I usually come back to that one word. 
Control. So, voicing would be the service of providing the player with 
control of the instrument's tone. JMO

only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the
American public." - Teddy Roosevelt
