..but sadly, some of the electronic keyboards do not have the “concert touch”, or weighted keys, as with the acoustic piano, in which the portion of this discussion above is based from. I can testify on experience from playing a CASIO keyboard that does have velocity sensitive keys for dynamics, but no “weighted keys” to simulate the touch of an acoustic piano. Thus, when I transfer TO the acoustic piano, I have to “re-educate” myself to learn the piano over again just by the touch.

The comments about digital pianos and keyboard synths being responsible for more injuries is somewhat inaccurate since the vast majority of serious electronic instruments *do* have pressure and/or velocity-sensitive keys. Therefore they do vary volume with key pressure and velocity.
