Marketing Tone
[edit]Opinion
The article in question contains language better suited to marketing copy than to an encyclopaedia entry.
Examples
"Throughout Luis' extensive career as a cellist, Leguía claimed he never found a suitable cello that could project over an orchestra or a grand piano, sparking the creation of "Luis and Clark."
This sentence is written with flowery language. I find the use of "sparking the creation" in particular to be objectionable. Perhaps it could be rephrased:
"Throughout Luis' career as a cellist, he had been dissatisfied with the capabilities of the instruments he used, particularly their ability to be heard over an orchestra or grand piano. This dissatisfaction eventually led him to found a company which he believed may produce a more suitable instrument."
Acknowledgement of Nitpicking
I am very particular with how I write, and this is one of several examples in this article which MAY be written like an advertisement. I am not claiming sole authority in this matter and would like to discuss the matter with fellow contributors in order to refine this article as much as possible, with their input.
