Are professional pianists excellent in piano?

[ChrisBungo]

I'm not trying to be disrespectful, but all this post was was simply a simple "insight" (if you can call it that) to say that pianists are good at piano, with the title answering itself. As JeromeD said, if someone is a professional at something, then obviously they're good at it; the whole point of a professional is someone who's highly qualified in their role.

So I don't think this post requires any further discussion, especially a decade later.

Sure thing - just reading through everything I've missed here over the years.
