Just a very quick response...try the following: depress the damper pedal on
an acoustic piano and then play a chord.  What you hear are SYMPATHETIC
vibrations.  Do the same on an electronic keyboard, and what do you hear?.
 Maybe they haven't come so far, eh baby?

As a technician, I welcome the introduction of electronic keyboards.  They
replace the small, arguably tunable pianos that we rarely enjoy servicing.
 That leaves us with larger pianos, played by more serious musicians who
appreciate the work we do!!
