That was one h*ll of a comment! But I'll chime in: The problem is not
production cost. The problem is (from a salesmans point of view) what

People pay for ease of use! It is not so different from using session-
players that know their stuff. At least not costwise.
[ Of course, One of us could learn the Cello (given time ..), but
singing the soprano is a task I would not like to know ;) ]
