Re: new service, have your instrument "played in" over one weeken
Whilst I am grateful to the poster for drawing public attention to this new service, which he terms 'playing in' but might be more accurately termed 'extreme distressing', I wish to point out the dangers to wider society of such as service, when accompanied by such a video. In the hands of a master such as Mr Scaggs, whose virtuosity is unquestioned, this type of playing behaviour produces sensory uplift, pleasure even, in the hands of lesser mortals who might engage in copycat behaviour, such as myself, the broader impact on both mandolin and audience is likely to be counterproductive in the shared cultural sphere and on the longevity of valued musical property. I urge you, in the greater public interest, to withdraw your seemingly well-meaning offer.
