Quick comment here – although keyboards with full size, weighted keys are dramatically improved from years ago, there is a HUGE difference in the “action” between a keyboard and a console or upright piano, just as there is a HUGE difference between console or upright and a grand piano, just as there is a HUGE difference between a Yamaha or Kawai and what I affectionately refer to as the 3 B’s = Bechstein, Bluthner, and Bosendorfer. Like everything else that can be purchased (think autos) the great divider is money, and you have recognizable quality differences for a more finely engineered piano (or car).

…practiced excessively at times between 2006 and 2009…
