^ Preferences on reverb vary a lot. Personally, I tend to find the more time I spend recording instruments and working with them in real life, the less reverb I like to use, much like how a woodworker might choose to use an oil or wax coating rather than lacquer or eurythane, to admire the grain of the wood rather than to hype it up with glossy layers.
These are aesthetic choices, so they will differ depending on the person. Some people want every piece of wood they see sanded to perfect smoothness and coated in a mm of lacquer, others want it left with chisel marks and nothing more than a little oil rubbed in. And, like both of these examples, both have pros and cons attached.
