Interesting Bill. BTW, most the time the key of a song is the name of the first chord. Start with a Cm chord and the key will most likely be the key of C - minor (3 flats). Start with a D Major chord it will most likely be the key of D Major (2#'s). And yes, the same chord played on the piano will sound fuller. It will be resonating / vibrating from more strings thus, overtones and harmonics. But of course, a guitar power chord coming from a 350-watt Marshal amplifier may sound pretty damn big - ha, ha.
