A pair of great headphones is under $100. A decent pair of Nearfield monitors can be had for under a grand.

Now go price a top of the line modern stage piano. Don’t forget to add those great speakers to the price. Or go take a look at one of the top Kawai or Roland home digital pianos that have speakers built-in. $7000 plus…

Sure, you want a fancy piece of furniture and are prepared to pay through the nose for it, have at it. The rest of us live in the real world. And NOTHING in hardware even comes close to the top VSTI sampled pianos or even Pianoteq3.

Hardware is DEAD. Except to aficionado’s of furniture. Me, I’m a musician…

And I’ve got a really sexy accent too! 🤣
