I remember taking music in school. I came to realize that each instrument had its own unique voice. The slightest damage, say a tiny dent, will change that voice.

I think you are right about the "burn-in" idea for instruments being not for the instrument but for the player.

Burn-in is starting to become an over used term. Like "love/hate."

Some people think burn in of headphones is exactly same thing - it's your ears (or rather brain) getting used to the audio profile of the headphones and not the headphones sound quality improving over time.
