no no Gerald, We want good piano sounds on keyboards, that's the whole idea. Nobody is trying to get rid of the piano or try to pretend that they are one. It's just really cool to put one in the back of a VW and go out and play anywhere you want. The fact that they can't fool Kent Swafford isn't the point, nobody's trying to fool anybody. Smaller, lighter, better, that's what we want, keep at it Roland, Kurtzweil, Yamaha, Korg, ect.

Ditto all the other sound that they are trying to ape. It looks like, to me, that it would be in their interest to invent new sounds that aren't already in use. Sounds that other instruments can't produce. Get outside of the box and work on something new and useful. Any thoughts?
