I know dozens of wonderful professional piano players; many of them play digital instruments a lot fo the time; they have no emotional relationship with their slabs---but a tremendous & complex emotional bond with their grand pianos. That's just how it is. The human thirst for beautiful acoustic sounds, directly from the air to their ear, will never diminish. In my opinion. <g> Mr. Brekne---I'm surprised, frankly, at your lack of faith and vision. Really. My best, David Andersen
