Piano Sales Overall Going Down

I recently talked to a piano store owner and noticed the same trends. Consumers are holding back on purchasing big ticket items such as acoustic piano or grand piano, instead, there are purchasing keyboard and digital piano. These items cost less and are more affordable.

What is sad about this - people are willing to spend thousands of dollars purchasing big screen tv and luxury items, yet there are not willling to invest time and money into music education overall. US overall music sight reading knowledge and classical music appreciation has gone downhill in the recent years.

Ask any pianist and you will know that digital piano and keyboards are completely different from acoustic piano - you can never get the same touch and tones from these keyboards.
