One thing I've noticed while listening to Bon Jovi albums is that the piano on the songs sounds like a tiny electric one, like a toy piano made for children. If you've ever listened to a Tori Amos album you've probably noticed that her Bösendorfer sounds like it's a living, breathing thing whereas the sound of the piano which David plays is like a... stoned carcass that he is hitting with a metallic pipe. Is the sound similar on his solo albums? Am I tin-eared or totally spoiled with Tori?

What about the strings on Bounce? Do they sound to you like they came from a synthesizer?
