Adjustable, low-impact keeb

Well, it doesn't help that the piano is one of the most unergonomic instruments in common use. I don't know which is worse, the piano or the guitar. Guitar chord shapes get really gnarly sometimes, but at least there is some effort to switch neck widths to fit individual hand sizes. Pianos have only one keyboard size!

I'd argue the tuning of the guitar makes it remarkably ergonomic and flexible. Guitar players take it for granted how you can play the same chord all up and down the neck. If a shape is clumsy for you, there are many others you can try to get the same chord, but I think the shapes in general are designed pretty well for the hand once you develop your finger muscles and flexibility. There is a lot of logic baked into the guitar's fretboard layout.

I agree the one-size is bad, especially since it apparently is too big for a majority of humans.

But aside from that, I always thought it a very ergonomic layout.
