Piano has its advantages compared to others. For example, if you target a C and press the right key, you will get a C. To get this far takes continuous deliberate practice on a violin, cello, ... (However, it gets easier with larger instruments as the target zone becomes larger) Another advantage is that 1 finger can create 1 note so it's easy to do comping for yourself and others. It's no accident that in conservatoria everybody gets to learn the piano (even if it's not their first instrument) A last remark: if you sing what you play on an instrument you improve your hearing and will eventually get up to a point where things are locked in so you can play everything you can sing.
