While the piano never changed and it still served the same function as before, society dictated that it was not worth as much as it was in its heyday. The subtle changes of society spelled major changes for pianos. History has already seen a massive decline in the use of pianos, the factor that it all depends upon is popularity.
Today, the situation is a little different. While it is true, that the piano’s popularity is at a relative-low and doesn’t show any signs of picking up again, there is a different threat to the piano than just public popularity. the keyboard that you’ve probably heard on the radio is a real threat to the piano.
Now that view of the keyboard is changing. With increasingly better standards of technology for keyboards, it is possible now for a keyboard to have the exact same qualities as a piano, without any of its faults.
The keyboard does not bode well for the traditional piano. More and more people, new consumers anyway, are on the lookout for a keyboard rather than a piano. Unless you’re a homeowner who has a flair for the traditional (which is increasingly a rare taste), you’re probably at least considering both options. The slump in consumer demand for pianos is a telling sign of their impending endangerment, whether it’s for better or for worse.
