Anecdotal: I understand that children who have learned to play on electronic (physical) keyboards (e.g. Yamaha stage piano) have problems when they encounter the mechanical actions on uprights and grands.
What will happen is a slow change in playing style, so things will sound different. Sort of like the change from arch to Torte bow for violins, only more radical.
- tsm 13y agoI grew up playing the piano, then went on hiatus for two or three years, then took a year of harpsichord lessons (harpsichords have significantly lighter action. And narrower keys.) Now playing a piano is downright painful--I'm no longer used to the finger and wrist strength required to get a key down, nor am I used to the stretching required to hit larger intervals. The plural of anecdote is not "data", but I, for one, will no longer understate the difficulty in transitioning to a new type of action.
