Are Acoustic Pianos Here to Stay?

The traditional acoustic piano has been around since the year 1698. Although the modern electric piano has evolved into a great new keyboard instrument, the traditional piano will always be around. Most piano teachers I have met over the years require their students to practice on a regular, acoustic piano. It is imperative that students learn the feel of a traditional keyboard. Some electric pianos keyboards come close, but never feel quite like a standard piano. The natural sound of the acoustic piano, like the acoustic guitar, will be around for many centuries to come. Nothing compares to the "real McCoy" of pianos.
