I was looking at this auction on HMS for the Devine Uke
http://www.theukulelesite.com/auction-devine-tenor.html
It got me thinking, how much a player influences an instrument's sound. This is the same uke and recorded the same way. There are different tones brought out by each player.
When we read reviews of a ukulele or hear a sample, how much should that influence our decision?
If someone is an excellent player then most ukes will sound good while they play them. But here is the opposite side, if a player is average or poor, then their sound sample may not show the instrument in a favorable light.
How much does a player contribute to the sound of an instrument?
I'm beginning to think that the player contributes much more to the sound of an instrument than most people think.
