Hello list,

I'm new to this list and have only been tuning a very short time, but I've
got a master's degree in piano, so I feel I can contribute to this string.
I've played a lot of keyboards and a lot of pianos, and I have yet to
discover any keyboard that is capable of the kind of expression that even a
quality console can produce.  As a private piano teacher, I am often
defending the piano in the piano vs. keyboard debate.  However, I am open t=
o
possibilities.  I was recently looking at the B=F6sendorfer pamphlet that is
included with my Randy Potter course titled What Makes a B=F6sendorfer a
B=F6sendorfer and found that they make a B=F6sendorfer Computer Grand.  Has
anyone here heard of this or come in contact with one?  If so, what is it?
How does it work?  Here are some of the features they list.

   -over 1000 degrees of touch expression for each key
   -extreme loud and soft playing
   -controlled key releases
   -pedal position control of greater than 1/1000th of an inch
   -self-calibrating actions
   -midi compatible
   -extended midi language
   -on-line velocity tables for perfect synthesizer interfaces

Sounds like heaven.  Who do you have to kill to get one?

Hi.=20
I think the Roland 977 has the most realistic touch I've played,you can
actually feel the aftertouch on the keystroke.It also has a sample of a 9'
Steinway.I sell these in my store,and have had great results from them.
