I clearly remember what our principal trumpet said one time to a

lot of money to have a trumpet that doesn't make any noise when I just
blow air through it."
Boy would I have snapped at that! viz:
"Are you saying the effect is impossible? If so, I can cite numerous
recordings from major composers proving you wrong. If it's not
impossible, then what are you saying? That it's beneath your dignity,
or that you are personally incapable of performing it? I *thought* I
was writing for a professional."
