IMHO > Joe Garrett, RPT, (Oregon) Sorry to say I didn't see the original post that this post was in response t= o=20 but I felt the desire to respond to the above comment on its own merit. Sorry to have to disagree with you Joe. I agree that some people (old and=20 not so old) can have an aversion to electronic devices because of how high=20 tech they seem. However, the elderly community in our area has been quite=20 interested in the digital pianos. The pros for an elderly person, especiall= y=20 one living in an apartment or facility setting can be Volume control &=20 Headphones and no maintenance required. Plus one of our elderly customers i= s=20 a nun in a home for elderly nuns and by adding a mobileer to her digital=20 piano she can easily move it from her room to the sanctuary at her=20 convenience. I think all people need to be taken on a case by case basis,=20 and not grouped together. If you direct an elderly customer away from a=20 digital piano just because you assume that he/she cannot possibly handle the= =20 technology, I think you would be providing the customer a disservice.
