I would hazard a guess and say that instrument sales overall are probably higher than ever. There has been a massive push in the UK to make sure kids have access to instruments.

Ahh there you go, that sums it up perfectly.
You know, you make a good point. I guess I was just cranky. The technology now really does make this a new golden age of music. I can download a few programs for free and suddenly I'm right up there with all the others who are making a bunch of cool sounds. I think I was approaching it from more of a physical instrument side. I had thought that if gibson goes down then maybe its a sign that other physical producers of instruments were headed in the same direction. I jumped the gun on that one.
