Take this for example. As a guitarists I have choices of of different styles of picks. They vary by thickness. My strum and solo work will sound different based on the thickness of my pick.
For example my strum on the down stroke and up stroke can vary from chord to chord. My application of force with the pick to the strings can vary as well. ]
Squeak,
I think you answered your own question here. As long as there are these variables, there's no way they will ever be able to reproduce the sound variations from performer to performer, not to mention guitar to guitar (or sax to sax).
What we hear is a middle of the road reproduction.
Secondly even on keyboards the same applies, player, playing style, dynamics, initial touch, after touch etc., etc.
So my short answer is I think not.
