Haha, that's a really good find!!

I guess it goes to show you that playing with style and emotion really is wayyy more important than playing technically perfectly. This could be a great teaching aid...to show students what they shouldn't do. Thanks fluteguy18!

Yeah, I've looked at that before. The current model is actually a pretty good improvement over some of the older ones. They are gradually getting to the point that it sounds like a human playing. I doubt we'll ever be replaced by robots, but they're getting there gradually...
