[Noisebridge-discuss] Getting a piano for NB

[Mark Ellis]

This was brought up in irc and I think the issue with getting an  
electric keyboard is that most don't have 'good touch' (as opposed to  
'bad touch' *snicker* ) unless you wanna dump a few pretty pennies  
into it. An idea that came up would be to get a regular piano and  
outfit it with pressure sensors so that physical key pressing  
generated electronic music and you'd retain the control that a pure  
electric keyboard might not give you.
