Speaking as someone who is a musician who plays keyboard instruments,

the C64 leaves a lot to be desired (noise, buzz, low-resolution, etc.).

It is what you do with it that counts - if noise buzz and low resolution
were merely a problem then Jimi Hendrix would have problems, and almost
all analogue instruments are highly variable, temperature dependant and
non linear, that is *why* they are so useful.

Amen Alan. My wife, back when she was teaching, bought a cello, a sweet
sounding one I fell in love with, then started taking lessons, but it was
only played for maybe an hour a week & she did not arrive at a level of
expertise that made it a natural for her. Now its standing in its case next
to the piano, and hasn't had its bow rosined in at least 5 years, and the
last time I heard it, sounded like hell. Such instruments need to be
exercised regularly to maintain their sonic quality.
