[Noisebridge-discuss] Getting a piano for NB

[davidfine]

For the time being I will block on any notion to bring an acoustic piano 
to Noisebridge. It's not a good use of the space. I'd support a digital 
keyboard because they can be played quietly, stored out of the way, and 
they provide a handy midi interface.

Checkout the Yamaha YPG-635, it has weighted hammers like an acoustic 
and can be bought new for $560.

This keyboard has better tactile response than any cheap old upright 
piano you're likely to find.

If you can't raise $600 from the community for an idea, it's probably 
not that good an idea.
