I agree. It's the emotional expression delivered thru the keyboard with our chops (hands) and voice (vocal cords) that moves the audience, and some musicians are able to accomplish this with an inexpensive spinet piano & cheap microphone. That said, if that same musician played a Steinway with the latest advanced condenser microphone, it would capture and elavate the performance even greater. This is WHY I'm so excited about the new Tyros2 "Super Articulation" voices. - Scott
