Yes, it's quite nice when different instruments find ways to get along. In fact, I support incentives to bring the disadvantaged ones back into lead roles.

The clarinet, once branded as a "licorice stick", is particularly inspiring.

Carry on. :lol:
Well, I do suppose that it's all right if you hadn't had your coffee yet. No hard feelings or nothing. Not even agains clarinets!

The danger you draw will never refel;ct a reality
becuase no matter how well one instrument mimics another
each instrument always brings its own inviolate nature/voice.

Each intrument is custoidian to a set of advantages or fortes. sowhat instruments do in mimicing is to widen their repertory of expression
but that doesn'r mean they sacrifice their forte and it doesn't mean they should lose their innate voice.
