From 2002 to 2005, Dylan's keyboard had a piano sound.

In a small hall especially hospitable to his particular piano sound, one heard a different kind of technique.

"He made the piano sound as no other composer had," the pianist said.

The range and palette of his piano sound are, to be sure, remarkable.

Billy Taylor has said that he could make a bad piano sound good.

And all have techniques that make playing the piano sound very easy.

When he'd finally get down to it and start playing, he would make the piano sound like an entire orchestra!

He saw the keyboard as only one avenue to piano sound.

Particularly striking was the piano sound: big without brutality, rich but always clear in focus.

But I think it still holds true that many things on a modern piano sound and respond differently.
