Apologies for going off topic, but this embodies EVERYTHING that is WRONG with Western Music.

How do you check whether your didgeridoo music is okay on a piano? How do you even PLAY your Indian quarter-tone music on a piano? How do you tell whether you've got the balance right between the piercing trumpet, the sonorous flugel, and the rounded cornet on a piano?

The piano is the musical equivalent of BASIC - a lowest common denominator that everyone is forced to damage their mind with before they are allowed to move on ...

The piano has totally and utterly poisoned the concept of Music here in the West ...

Cheers,
Wol

To be fair to the piano, I don't think it originated that behaviour. As I understand it, the harpsichord occupied more or less the same niche before the piano was invented. That's why there's so much harpsichord music.
