That sounds like a pretty hefty overstatement-how would you know?
After you've learned to play every instrument in the world REALLY well and
have
a genuine basis for comparisom will I take this statement seriously.
I certainly concede diatonic is difficult to play well, but most people say
the violin is the hardest to play.
Pedal harp is also cited as a real bear, too. Truth is, playing any
instrument to a virtuoso standard is very tough.
You're of course entitiled to your opinions, Mike, but I'd like to see what
backs this one up other than smoke and mirrors.
