A musician friend who visited my home here on a Greek island, brought some of her own equipment with her, a 'pre-amp' and an 'equalizer' in hope of demonstrating to my teacher, a well-known violinist, the potential for superior transmission of different parts of the sound spectrum.
She had us play with the sound settings used by most local musicians (including my teacher) and then demonstrated to us the qualitative difference with her equipment set to include more of the sound spectrum.
Musicians routinely cranked the volume and reverb up to levels that only destroyed the music, the natural sound of the instruments altered so much that the violin sounded like someone humming loudly under the sea and the beautiful resonance of the laouto was transformed so much that the sound resembled that of an electric guitar.
