    Now, that's not fair!  I think it is perfectly
clear exactly what I meant - violinists play an
instrument that is barely one step away from a baby's
rattle.  They might as well still be crawling on all
fours considering how easy it is to rub some hair
across a string and draw forth a mellifluous concord. 
The thing practically plays itself.  Now don't get me
started on the viola da gamba...  I'm only gonna say
that I once heard an entire piece of Hume's coming out
of an unmanned gamba just sitting by itself in the
breeze.

(Seriously, I have some limited experience with both
of the above instruments.  After a few years of doing
it, nobody wants to hear me play a note, trust me.  I
also have nothing against babies.)
