That's a sentiment I've been trying to express for a long while now, it's just never come out that succinctly.
It cracks me up to see someone chomping at the bit for designers to come out with something 'new' when there is a universe of music and timbre that have yet to be explored with the 'old' concepts.
These are musical instruments. The introduction of a new design does not obsolete the instruments we now have, no more than the piano made the harpsichord obsolete. By the same token, just because there was a harpsichord didn't mean someone didn't have to invent the piano.
Strive for 'new', but don't discount the old.
