Hi, I can personally tell you, as a pianist, There is something about the lever action of a real piano, , that just is not duplicated by the electronic instruments. There is something about the feel of a well-regulated piano that makes the player feel like the instrument plays itself. There is an interaction of player and feel of the key that I have no words to describe. I think a perfectly regulated instrument gives the pianist a confidence that after he has practiced his best, the piano will cause the pianist to feel like he can sing a melody like the finest singer, or fly up and down the keys with precission. It just isn't the same on the electronic instruments.
