New. radical piano design

[Deleted]

BBC and Guardian have just announced a new piano, designed by Daniel Barenboim.  I have read them, and have reservations about the journalistic hyperbole.  But read the articles and post your thoughts, please.

It does not seem too radical; more of a modern take on an older design.


The Seaboard GRAND comes across as bit more radical: www.roli.com/products/seaboard-grand

Definitely different! Would you describe it as a piano though?

I would see the Roli more as an advanced Master-keyboard with an intuitive controller-design. I have played one in Frankfurt and I must say you will need some time to find your comfort-zone.
