No one can play alone, this is why companies of beings have been formed. When a sound is actually produced, we hear it; till then we cannot tell one instrument from another. They are different in shape, but alike in their silence, so long as not the slightest sound makes itself perceived. Tuka says, He who knows this, know it; others dwell in unrealities.
