These instruments often give me a cynicism attack. Nobody gave a s...t at any point in the process, because the point was to produce something that looked like a piano as cheaply as possible and turn a profit...music, or the enjoyment of people playing these things never entered the design equation. But, have the Asian entry level pianos taken a higher road? Not the ones I've dealt with...grands no less...big time PSOs. They are doing the same bloody thing, because it doesn't have to be a piano to relieve a customer with limited funds of their cash...it just has to look like it ought'a be a piano to sell it. Does it have to make enjoyable music...heck no...chirst, music has no monetary value anyway...why bother...
