all,

IMHO, from perspective of political economy, the disappearing (in whatever senses) of organs and the emerging (again, in whatever ways) of keyboards, has the similar trend (and nicely coincides!)with the disappearing of community markets and the emerging supermarkets, or the same case with local restaurants and fast-food, or the likes --- in short, the 'instant' has taken over what used to exist.

this does not inherently mean bad, nor good. it depends on how we are aware and sensitive how power is involved.

as some people say that organs will never be totally replaced by keyboards, it is also true with 'market' over 'supermarket' or 'ginger-lemonade' over 'coke'....

what i think i would definitely reject is that if the "another world is possible" is no longer applicable in music instrument industry...

cheers,
y
