If you get good at extracting remarkable performance from the most lesser of instruments enough to pull their own weight regardless, just imagine what it can be like when such a practitioner gets behind the keyboard of a world-class Steinway. And just does what they do best. Without ever having touched such a capable instrument themself.

On a level playing field the expression of virtuosity can outshine those who have never known any instrumental limitations at all :)

When pulling way more than your own weight happens like for few others.

There should be an award for getting the most out of the electronics rather than trying to reach orbit by building the tallest pile of e-waste.

First Prize right before your eyes !

Grande praise !

And just starting to ascend toward an unconquered summit that others find forbidding ;) Or they find uninteresting since the limit naturally lies on firm earth somewhere below the stratosphere.
