Doesn’t a good piano player adapt to the vellocity curve of a piano?

Crossover, did you learn as a child?

I decided to learn as an adult, ( just a hobby) and was told at the grand old age of 22, that I was too old, my fingers wouldn’t cope. That was before I even had my first lesson. Probably should have found a new teacher immediately . Haha

I give piano lessons myself now (a few, freelance), and my oldest student is 70. I would never say to anyone that they are too old. It takes longer, you need a lot of patience, but at the same time it‘s the best brain training you can imagine, particularly rewarding for the elderly, even if they won‘t reach the level of giving concerts or such.

Hi Bachus,
Unless you plan on playing an acoustic piano, does it really matter?
I ended up with a top of the line Clavinova, and it never felt the same as playing my baby grand. I used to spend hours per week doing Hanon exercises building up finger strength.
Enjoyed it at the time, but after I had sell the baby grand (house, downgrade, no space) the clavinova didn’t quite make up for it. Lost interest in playing.

Why not enjoy what works for you,

I’m the opposite, I find the lighter key feel more difficult for a piano piece, there again I haven’t played a fully weighted keyboard for years, so no doubt I’d have to go back to doing exercises to build up the strength and evenness again.
