I guess we agree on feelings and the ability to execute those feelings as being prime. I feel this more for the keyboard player. My example; My Dad was a Concert Piano Player, he was sent to Italy for his studies. I hope that impresses you, it always impressed me. When play my keyboard or my Wersi organ he did not sound very good. Equally so, when I played the piano I did not sound good.

So, what are the gifts/knowledge needed to play a keyboard reasonably well? What makes one keyboard sound better than the other having equal gifts of feeling, rhythm and dexterity?
