Precisely! When I advise students to learn on a piano instead of a digital keyboard, I sometimes get the feeling that they assume I'm giving that advice because I'm a tuner. No, the opposite . . . . I am a tuner because I love the piano. Fight the good fight.

A digital/electronic/electric Keyboard is NOT a PIANO! Not even close, IMNSHO! Our beloved Piano is just that! Or...it can be a Piano/Forte or it can be a Forte-Piano. But, an "Acoustic..." ???Naw! Everything is Acoustic for god's sake! Really stupid B.S. from the Marketing Departments and their ilk! > While we're at it.. I loathe, hate and dispise the term: "Entry Level Piano"!! Yikes! What is that? They should call them what they really are....Crap! At least when the Spinets got bad, the dealers started calling them crap. Those days are gone and replaced by the Touchy/Feely, Politically Correct, Dumbass world we live in! End of rant!
