resonant about that key's physical characteristics?>>
 
Answer yes... Or perhaps it is the key of "F" that seems so resonant,  
(second position on a Bb harmonica.)
 
Then Bob said: 
<<I'm beginning to think that EVERY key is good,>>
 
Again yes.
A tune will sound VERY different depending on the key it is played  in.
I know that sounds obvious.
 
But the great classical composers knew a thing or two about keys.â For  
example, Ludwig van Beethoven's Symphony No. 5 in C Minor Op. 67  (for  example) 
would sound very different if played in any other key.
