digital piano labs

Our school recently installed Roland keyboards in our piano lab. They seem
to be relatively trouble-free.  As far as service goes, buy from a good
dealer. Most problems you'll have will be solved (or not) by your local
dealer. I understand that the Yamaha Clavinova is also a fine keyboard, as
are 99.9% of their products.

I saw the following sign in a piano dealership here in Austin:

         "Children left unattended will be towed away at their owner's expense!"
