I have always said that we know when the digital is a real contender if =
classical musicians give concerts on them rather than a Steinway "D".  =
My own test is when the sustain pedal is used, does the piano sustain =
just the notes that have been played or does it give add convincing =
sound that the dampers have lifted on all the strings to give there =
comunilative effect.

  Hi Alan !

  You rise an interesting strange point here, when saying that you can =
only play a digital piano for about half an hour.  I feel exactly the =
same.  Even though the synthetic thing gets closer and closer to the =
real thing, one's intuition still can clearly (very clearly) make the =
difference between them, and the synthetic is still boring and makes the =
listener tired.  Makes me think of fake light (spots etc) versus day =
light.  Same scenario.  Your eyes never get tired of daylight.  What is =
amazing me is that the real thing is always much more complex than the =
fake one.  How comes that a more complex thing gives us more rest than a =
more simple one ?

    I also tell them that they will soon become tired of the sound of a =
digital piano (at least I do) "listener fatigue" and all that. I can =
only play a digital piano for about half an hour and have to switch it =
off.=20
