Well, obviously, if your model's equipment is so eccentric that it requires
special out-of-the-ordinary techniques to play on it, an inexperienced
player shouldn't be fooling with it. But even more reason why he needs an
experienced teacher's help to know whether it's the virtuoso's technique
that's so unconventional or his own. It's possible that he (or she) might
not get a good result because of some basic flaw in his technique that, on
his own, might be very hard for him to discover and correct.
