Grin.... Ok... this thread has made some real whopper claims so far... but this one has a shred of truth to it. Tho certainly no one should interpret this to mean that you should play on lousy pianos in order to develope <<proper>> technique. The thread of truth here lies mainly in the fact that a musician should be able to sit down at just about any reasonably regulated instrument and figure out how to make very nice music on it... nearly instantaneously. Which of course raises an interesting point about pianists that insist upon playing only Steinway D's because they dont want to <<ruin>> their tecnique. Boils down to the fact that there is a bit of variety out there... so one should be prepared for it. Pianists included. And Don.... I dont see we need any proof for this... or what ?
