So you would deprive the historically black students their magical instruments? What a black heart you have, sir!

As black as the flat keys on a Steinway, sir!

Anyhow... today’s electronic pianos are about as magical as you can get, because they can imitate instruments that cost several hundred thousand dollars, in a unit that retails for maybe $6000, and bulk purchases would get a better deal. It’s a sad but common story that a school gets a really nice grand piano but has no clue how to handle it or set it up, and gets substandard maintenance personnel. The result is that any serious pianist will refuse to use it, preferring the beat-up console piano that has sat down the hall for 25 years as long as it has had a fresh tuning. The best Steinway cannot tune or adjust itself, it isn’t that magical.
