Portable (real) pianos ain't new. The Orphica dates from around 1800

Wally said,
"Nowadays we have portable pianos that slide easily under a bed. (Electronic pianos - that is.)"

Wally,
Please?? We need to stop referring to the Electronic Keyboards/Digital Keyboards as PIANOS! They are not! No Way! No How! They are what I said: Keyboards, Don't get me wrong, being a performing musician, the Keyboards are the best thing since peanut butter, (well, ...almost<G>). Without them, we'd all be toting Baldwin Acrosonics around in Ford Econolines!<G> (been there, done did that!<G>)
Just my take on a deplorable habit,
Joe
