"Us" Dutchies are known/notorious/feared/hated/loved (strike all that do not apply to your situation) for being annoyingly honest and straight-forward. We don't go around slapping people on the back telling them what a great instrument they have and then laugh behind their backs. If we think it sucks, we'll tell you.

Mind you: we don't tell you it DOES suck, it's just an OPINION. Mine, in this case.

And this, to MY ears, is the worst sounding arranger I've heard in years. Sorry.
