An electrified piano is terrific for sessions, especially for pubs! It needs no tuner, takes up less space, & can be used for most all varieties of Music. The first time I ever played in a ceili band it was because I could play "boom chuk" style piano.   The button accordian player loved it cause he said it reminded him of being in a session back home.

As a purist, I stayed away from elec for many years, then when it came time to replace my piano I got an electric one. (gasp--! shock & awe) I don't need no stinking tuner, it can be moved much easier & without me wincing about scratches when it's moved.
