[pianotech] Some perspecitve

I guess it all depends on the definition of "run of the mill keyboard".  When you said that, I immediately thought of Walmart, or Target.

List
As many of you know, my other life is that of a professional clarinetists and conductor.
I lease  studio space at a music school which was nice enough  to include a Yamaha electric keyboard to assist in my teaching. I used this for the better part of this past year.
The school announced last month that a Baldwin spinet was being donated to the school and that my studio was going to be recepient of the gift.
Turns out I knew the piano well as it belonged to a long time client of mine. This was one of the horribles pinets that Baldwin was pumping out in the 90's. False beats everywhere, overally hard gromets, the list goes on and on.
That all being said, I'm hear to say as a testimonial, that this bottom of the barrel spinets is like a cadilac compared to the sound of that keyboard.
All things being relative, this experience reminded me of  how a decent electric keyboard  is still a far cry from the entry level spinets.
Of course there are some keyboards which are really quite nice. But for the run of the mill keyboard, not even a close call as to which sounds better.
