Hi,
I can personally tell you, as a pianist, There is something about the lever
action of a real piano, ,
that just is not duplicated by the electronic instruments.  There is
something about the feel of a well-regulated piano that makes the player
feel like the instrument plays itself.  There is an interaction of player
and feel of the key that I have no words to describe.  I think a perfectly
regulated instrument gives the pianist a confidence that after he has
practiced his best, the piano will cause the pianist to feel like he can
sing a melody like the finest singer, or fly up and down the keys with
precission.
It just isn't the same on the electronic instruments.
Vinny
