I believe it. “Hunt and peck” may be a misnomer. Full disclosure, I’m a pianist as well and use all ten fingers, but my fingers float all over the keyboard rather than using the home row, and I might use three or four different fingers to hit any particular key. This style is muscle memory, but it’s also not “touch typing.” I typically type around 110wpm with high accuracy, and am slowed by figuring out what I want to type not by my fingers. I mostly don’t look down as long as I’m using my own keyboard, though I am slowed considerably when moving to an unfamiliar keyboard. I say all this because I know some of this style translates well to reduced fingers, eg sometimes I type exclusively with my left hand because I’m too lazy to move my right hand off the mouse and I’m thinking hard and don’t need to type as quickly anyway. Good two-finger typists probably also rely on spatial-muscle memory, and may not look at their keyboard at all despite only using two fingers.
