I can't help but think of Schroeder from "Peanuts", playing concertos on a toy piano. It is the power of his imagination that allows him to surpass any feats he could accomplish on a genuine piano, and it is the strength of his passion that ensures his friends can perceive what his imagination can encompass. Also, after 50 years, his testicles have yet to descend. That's gotta figure into the equation somehow too.
