True story - I played the clarinet. Now I don't want to.

Isn't Parkinson's a resting tremor? you shake when not using the limb, but when you use it the shaking stops?

The reason this is interesting is not because she can play the clarinet, but because she played the clarinet during brain surgery.
After writing this I think I get your point: shouldn't she should have been at rest during surgery because that's when the tremors would have been present?

I suppose they needed a lot of instruments to make the surgery work.

I thought this was pretty commonplace for patients with artistic talent. It's been at least ten years since I've been reading about people playing guitar, keyboard, or sketching while undergoing brain surgery.
