Lack of interest....Why else would the 7/8 designed for the concert grand in our major venue has never been requested. I think is was a waste of precious funds.

I'm interested because it's unclear to me whether these narrow keyboard have a future. On one hand (no pun intended), I find they make a great difference - not hard to adapt to, and they make most music easier to play. On the other, I can see why many aspiring professionals might that time spent on a non-standard keyboard is a wate, since they will almost always perform on a standard instrument. Yet again, many conservatory students with smaller hands suffer from hand and wrist problems that might be avoided by practicing on a "right-sized" keyboard. What say you?
