I have to sadly aggree with this posting pretty much 100 %. I understand fully that lovers of acoustic music will probably always scoff at these electronic imposters, and to a large degree I would aggree with that sentiment. But personal opinion is one thing, and reality is another. Todays better digipianos heard in a rock and roll band blasting away are nearly impossible to discern from an acoustic piano mic'd such that it can compete with the rest of the band. And if they do not after our own judgement truly do the acoustic origional justice, neither do they sound awfull in any sense of the word. These things offer a portability and ease of maintance that acoustic pianos can never achieve, and when they sound "good enough" our industry is going to experience quite a change me thinks. And as I have said before... just because I recognize all this doesnt mean I like it.. grin. > > > Glenn Grafton > Grafton Piano & Organ Co. > Souderton PA > http://www.dprint.com/grafton/ > gleng@fast.net > 800-272-5980 > > The box said "Requires Windows 95, or better."
