David: I agree but I think it's going to digital keyboards going rather than acoustical instruments. Already, string players are going back to tube driven amps because of the quality of sound that they get. Digital is great in electronics but when it comes to music it gets boring real quick. Did you ever notice the similarity of digital music and harpsichord music. Or maybe chamber music. Now that is boring. IMHO.
