If I had to choose between one or the other, I'd choose a good digital piano over any grand smaller than 6 1/2 foot (Yamaha C5, Steinway A, etc) or vertical smaller than 45" to 48" (Steinway 1098, Baldwin Hamilton, Yamaha P22, etc). ----- Original message ----- From: "Nathan Bower" <nathan@bowern8.plus.com> To: "Pianotech" <pianotech@ptg.org> Date: Tue, 10 Dec 2002 12:19:33 -0000 Subject: Re: digital keyboards Mr Koval, I understand your opinion! It was never my intention to imply that a sample piano is better than the real thing, but it certainly is cheaper. I already have a good HiFi, the keyboard and sample set could be had for less than £1000, which saves me about £74,000 on the real thing. Purely subjectivley I would say that the midi+sample solution sounds better than most £1000 pianos. I wonder if you can get keyboards that have a "real" action - that is a major drawback IMO.
