I see this in poor and homeless people. It is often hard for them to give up what little they do have, even when others promise better things ahead. And it's also true of wealthy people, who are afraid to sacrifice even a small portion of what they have, even though it could bring a great improvement in someone elses life.

The merit of a grand piano is the ability to produce a *specific* sound perfectly, no emulation required. The merit of synthetic sound is the ability to create something else, something that I think has as much merit as a traditional piano does. Yes it is different, but different is how progress is made. I doubt that traditional pianos will ever "die", because there will always be demand for the specific sound and expressiveness of the traditional piano. I would argue this performance is expressive as well. I think you will enjoy this: http://www.ted.com/talks/qi_zhang_s_electrifying_organ_performance.html
