Music Appreciation

not sure how long, maybe 15-20 yrs ago. they didnt market it well, and it was a bust, so they’re dead set against it. the ceo of steinway is a magat, so….
there is a german company that will make them, steinberg. not cheap. and hailun, a chinese co is bringing them to market here. better prices, but who knows w asshole in charge. afaik, athena is the only digital.

as far as a political issue, it reminds me of back in the day when i was a carpenter. it was sooo hard to get proper safety equipment. gloves, boots, hard hats. even the stuff that was adjustable just wasnt as stable when u had to ratchet it all the way down. leads to a lot of injuries, and shortened careers.
