digital?

<<Concerts are already happening on digitals rather than acoustic.>>


I'd sure like to know where and when there has been (or IS) a classical 
pianist (of any real note) playing a "digital" piano either as as soloist, 
or with orchestra. And WHY would a serious pianist prefer digital to 
acoustic? Maybe as an experiement or an oddity. If this is the future, can 
an all digital orchestra be far behind? If so, I'll stay home and listen to 
Horowitz on my Record player!

Hi James,

Concerts are already happening on digitals rather than acoustic.
The upper end of digitals do have a sustain pedal that works in this manner.

As for &quot;joining battle&quot; the battle has long since been lost.

&gt;I have always said that we know when the digital is a real contender if
classical
&gt;musicians give concerts on them rather than a Steinway &quot;D&quot;.  
My own test
is when
&gt;the sustain pedal is used, does the piano sustain just the notes that 
have
been
&gt;played or does it give add convincing sound that the dampers have lifted
on all
&gt;the strings to give there comunilative effect.
&gt;So far piano techs have not joined the battle over real and digital.
&gt;Or have we?
