hmmm... I dunno. Wankers are usually referring to bad improvisers, ones who just play as fast as they can and show off with cheap tricks.

...But, improv is somewhat a lost art in classical. Maybe the jazzers have a name for it?

Haha. I thought they were hacks.

Younger and more talented? The "He plays with no musiciality" seems to be the thing people say when someone younger plays with more technique than that person has.

in jazz .. i heard people using the word hackers..

In fact there was this horrible saxophone player in the school.. he was also a jerk.. my friends were in a big band competition.. they were giving out awards and my frineds made a fake award for this guy.. it was called "the best hacker" award, and they gave him a tuner and metronome so that he can stay in tune and play in time!!

the word Robot is derived from the russian word robotnik meaning worker

so I fail to see how a worker can play with no expression or no musicality

sounds kind of elitist to me
