[Lost thread reply flood -- catching up] Del, I too attended this presentation, and other than a Three Stooges sampling, what you quoted was what I carried away from that presentation. My recall is something like "the acoustic piano will be obsolete by 1991." I was in a rather warm and very crowded booth at a NAMM show. Could you have been there at the same time? Regardless, I've used the reference several times when forced to make analogies between "traditional" and, ah, "contemporary" instruments.

The 'acoustic' >piano is now totally obsolete." Jim Harvey, RPT harvey@greenwood.net
