> Isn't music better for the fact that every artist can draw their own line?

I am not at all making the argument that it isn't.

Rather I am trying to get at the idea that the "revolutionises the guitar" coverage framing that accompanies developments like this usually elides questions about musicality.

> Counterargument: does someone play the Linnstrument? Do they make good music with it?

I have never actually heard such a player myself.

No, I can't see how. I'm very glad that Yuja Wang stuck to piano instead of creating some ridiculous new device. Techniques would never develop over time if every musician had to start completely from scratch on a brand new instrument.
