I would guess that the "pianist" is a young lady. I have a theory. The sound 
produced by the electronic instruments is more akin to the sound produced by 
the electronic bands young people listen to on recordings. When one listens 
to a sound of a recording, one would tend to like that sound, as opposed to 
other sounds, produced by "live" instruments. 

As far as her "ear" is concerned. It is amazing how many "professional" 
musicians do not have an inkling to what "in tune" is supposed to sound like. 
Again, it is probably what they listened to when growing up. If one grows up 
learning to play an out of tune piano, or play in an out of tune band, then 
that is all they know. 

Unfortunately, I don't think there is anything you can do to change the 
situation. 

Just my 2 cents worth.
