There's an excitement and pleasure about playing an acoustic piano that's hard to put into words. It can only be felt.

I started out as an arranger player and then took on the piano. I at first thought an arranger was the cat's meow....the greatest thing since sliced bread was invented. As I became more proficient at the piano, I found less satisfaction, NOT in playing an arranger, but the empty, digital, hollow sound it makes.

Playing an acoustic piano makes you feel like you're not just playing it, but you're a part of it!
