Steinway pianos with ivory keys and the earlier technology before the Steinway brothers sold out to CBS, which turned their pianos into garbage, still exist and are used for concerts. Many people own them.

A piano does not deteriorate like a car.

This is a direct attack on the ability of classical music to survive.

"When concert pianist Jeffrey Sharkey moved to England two decades ago, he had Steinway replace the ivories on his piano with plastic."
