[pianotech] Electronic Keyboards - Piano Hide a bed

[Joseph Garrett]

Define Organs!<G>
The point is, if we continue to call them Electronic Pianos or Digital Pianos and the dealers do the same, the public will continue to be confused and continue to buy them, thinking that it is the best way for their children  to learn how to play the PIANO! Teachers figured that out, years ago and quit recommending them for anything other than an addendun to the regular piano studies, IME.

Joe,
So by that line of thinking, it would come as a surprise to Rogers and Allen that what they manufacture are not really organs. :)

P.S. Take it from one who can revel in being stodgy!

"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
