"If it was possible to know beforehand the exact acoustic result of an instrument I begin to design, the adventure of its construction, that begins with a tree being sawed and ends with the first sounding notes, wouldn't have neither the same fascination, thrill, impatience and curiosity nor the same interest;
It would have been an occupation, perhaps a dull one, that wouldn't offer me the same pleasure".
