I’ve been out of town away from my computer for a few days, but couldn’t help but note this…….
The human voice is one of the only “perfect” instruments. We all know that polyphonic instruments are well-tempered and thus each chord produced is “close”, but imperfect. If you’ve ever sung in a group without accompaniment, whether it be madrigals, barbershop, etc., one of the great opportunities is you can sing each chord perfectly because the trained human ear can seek the perfect chord – and ring overtones (and undertones if you’re really good) all over the place – it’s one of the reasons that choral/ensemble singing is so fun!
Music began with someone humming….

I think almost everyone here would agree. The human voice is the greatest of all instruments.
