Re: Switched-Off Keys
By Peter Neilson
Damon Atchison asks why one would want a keyboard lock.
Well, mine was removed by a previous owner, and I wish I had it! It's not that I feel the flapping of the keys interferes with subtle playing (that's why some folks use it).
Rather, I often do public performances, usually with a lot of little kids hanging around. The piano seems attractive to children of all ages, and toddlers like to come up and pound their fists on the keys while a roll is playing. If the keyboard were locked, they would have to go do something else annoying, like unfurling all my rolls.
Hmmm, maybe I'd better leave well enough alone.
