Aloha Jim,

Amazing how a different location can affect prices!  I'd love to hear more
about the conversation with piano teachers.  As you might have guessed we
have a similar debate going on here.  Maybe we could get the teachers to talk
"cross-country"?

One of the more prominent teachers here also owns a Piano store.  It has been
interesting to see the shift from, "only buy a real piano" to  advertising a,
"lessons with piano (digital keyboard pictured)", special for $$$ a month !

Thanks for keeping this thread going.
