I don't know about wine, but those violinists were asked which instrument they preferred, not which was a Strad.
I don't see how that or a blind test is relevant to what I wrote anyway? Except for a cheap dismissal.
- jojobas 3y agoWhy go for more expensive a dismissal when a cheap one is enough? All I want to say is human perception is crap. You often think you feel something but you don't, you project your biases and external suggestions onto your senses and end up with yesterday's weather on Mars. Therefore the most logical way to test whether you can really sense the difference is to deprive you of any reference for your biases, the double blind test.
- lucas_codes 3y agoActually, human perception is incredibly good, though I agree prone to biases. But there are no double blind studies on this, so why dismiss experts' opinions so readily? > Electronic keyboards have weighted keys and similar tactile feedback to regular acoustic pianos, so this is a solved problem. For professionals, the difference is huge. Seriously massive, on even the most expensive electronic keyboards. This is why I replied (unusual for me) - saying "it's a solved problem" is so far off the mark

- lucas_codes 3y ago"Hybrid piano"? What does that mean?
- jojobas 3y agoActual hammers (not a kinematic imitation), optical hammer velocity sensors, no strings, some kind of multisampled sound.
