Interesting fact. Besides having worked with keyboards for 20 years, I've
also played
guitar (fingerstyle ragtime and bluegrass) for almost 30 years. So I'm still
looking for
the correlation.

When I started studying classical guitar, my professors made a point
of stressing proper hand positions so the stress would be minimized.
As another classical guitar player, I can second that. Anyone who thinks
musicians never experience problems like tendonitis or RSI hasn't been
around very many musicians. If they experience a lower incidence of it than
the general populace (something I'm not sure is supported by the facts)
it's probably because they concentrate much more on proper hand and finger
positioning than the general populace.
Have fun,
