[CAUT] steinway movie review

[Jim Busby]

Hey John,

Since most keyboard sounds nowadays are "sampled" maybe "all synths
sound like your piano"...

Cheers,
Jim

Here are a couple of quotes from the movie:

Most agree that the individual sound of a handmade piano, as opposed to
one made by machine and tuned by computer, is one of its glories.

"If you do it by computer, it sounds like a synthesizer - like a
machine," observes a factory specialist, known as a rough tuner.



So THAT'S why all my pianos sound like synths!! : )
