...to distinguish the brands of a piano or grand-piano playing.
mentioning interconnects or speaker cables isn't neccessary.

Electric instruments can be very tricky. It may sound like a Wurlitzer electric piano, but one would be hard pressed to say whethers it's a real Wurlitzer or is it a Korg Trinity (or any other number of synthesizers) running a Wurlitzer patch? Solid body electric guitars have very little sound of their own. The pick up design and the amplifiers used are a greater determinate of the final sound than the guitar itself. Couple this with the choice of microphones and placement and a Telecaster can easily be made to sound like a Les Paul (Led Zep I & II).
Twl, if you're looking for a challenge, try picking out the number (and of course type) of pianos used in any of those 60s Phil Spector masterpieces. Personally, I can't tell, but I read that he typically used 3 or 4 at a time. I think he also used a similar number of acoustic guitars. Talk about a wall of sound.
Twl, nothing was more irritating than having the piano player tell me to tune my guitar. Enjoy!
