Quite often I hear people talking about musical instruments and hi-fi as if the design principles, materials employed etc. were somehow similar, or even identical. For example, when the subject of "the best" material to use in the construction of a turntable comes up there will be people who suggest using maple because it's used in such-and-such a musical instrument, or suggest using spruce because it's used for guitar tops, or whatever.
Musical instruments aren't hi-fi and there's really no connection between the manufacture of the two.
