Keehun, the next time you've got the trumpet in your hands and there's a couple of bars of rest on the score, take the "measure" of your instrument and consider the engineering that must have been required to get it into your hands. Metallurgy, applied physics, etc. etc. all played a part in the fabrication of your horn. If FIRST is the reason you or anyone else has a degree of appreciation for some other discipline, then it's a good result for all of us.
