[Fmpro] need a friend

[MusiMax]

Chris,
first I apologize for my english but is not my mother language  
(anyway those were typing mistakes).
Second ultra-cheap orchestras are not synonymous of ultra-non- 
professional orchestra. Maybe I don't know english but if you use the  
word scab which one of this meanings you intended to use?
scab |skab| |skøb| |skab|
noun
1 a dry, rough protective crust that forms over a cut or wound during  
healing.
• mange or a similar skin disease in animals.
• [usu. with adj. ] any of a number of fungal diseases of plants in  
which rough patches develop, esp. on apples and potatoes.
2 figurative or informal a person or thing regarded with dislike and  
disgust.
• derogatory a person who refuses to strike or to join a labor union  
or who takes over the job responsibilities of a striking worker.

I don't care if is a term that everybody uses but it is not correct.
Tell me one thing, if you can answer this question: why you are ok to  
buy levis jeans or nike shoes or anything sold here in US and made in  
Chine or Taiwa ect. and you have problem with european orchestras.  
The funny thing is that the quality of products made in China, Taiwan  
ect comparing with american products is terrible but european  
orchestra quality ....well, you really have to prove that they are  
inferior to the american ones.

If your experience about that service was negative, maybe it was just  
that orchestra. Saying or meaning with other words that all european  
orchestras are bad I think is really not fair.

Again, I apologize for my english but I ensure you that my musical  
skills, training and culture are much more professional.
Ciao
Fabio SIRONI
