[pianotech] Interesting Product at NAMM

[Andrew Anderson]

As a piano teacher, I can testify to that difference.  Our policy  
explicitly states that we do not accept students who don't have  
pianos.  People are still beating down the doors.  We tell people they  
can start on a digital piano but must commit to an acoustic piano in  
two to three years.  We find that third year piano students simply  
stall and lose interest if they are still on a digital piano.

Kids on keyboards (synthesizer type) simply don't get anywhere.  It's  
a waste of our time and the parent's money to accept them.
