List, I quizzed one of the piano faculty about the 7/8 keyboard and here is his reply; <<< It's an interesting idea and it makes sense. Ultimately though - I think it is impractical. Students would need to solely practice on it - AND in lessons - AND in concert - AND anywhere else they have to play the piano. I think it sets a precedent that will never be able to be followed for the students- in the real world - they will be lucky to find one of those pianos in a 3-5 state region. Interesting - but not practical.... (In my humble opinion...) >>> FWIW, Jim Busby
