It is the same thing in synth and guitar circles. Maybe now we have just discussed all of these things as nauseum for so long the only way to move the discussion forward is this extremeness.

I just found this out the hard way. After playing acoustic for ~15 years, I decided my birthday this year was the time to join the world of electric guitars. I joined several guitar related FB groups, expecting them to be as civil as the tabletop gaming groups I belong to (my other hobby). I quickly found out how wrong I was, it seemed there was no topic too mundane to turn into a mud slinging gate keeper competition. Not sure what it is about musical instruments that makes it that way.

  I own an electric cello that I occasionally play and used to take lessons with. Back when I was looking for a teacher, I had a hard time finding anyone who'd let me use it during lessons. Most of them wanted me to rent a wooden cello. I get that there are a lot of bad electric cellos out there, and there are some good electrics that are bad for beginners. But, mine is a Yamaha SVC-100 [0]. It's a professional-worthy instrument, even if most professionals don't use it. It has all the correct touch points as a regular cello, and it responds like a normal cello, so, as far as learning goes, it's just fine. With cello people, I think it's a sense of conservatism or something. I didn't really want to rent an instrument, so, I kept looking until I found someone who would just let me play my own. The guy I found was amazing, and owned his own electric. He also played cello in a rock band. I'm sure all those other cello teachers were fine, but I had a blast with this guy, and I'm glad I found him.
