This is so cool! I hope it gets traction and somehow brings alternate sized keyboards into affordable reality for the mass of pianists and aspiring pianists who are held back by poorly sized instruments.

Del Vento I visited the page a few times within the event and didn't see the livestream. I think the page is broken.

No it's not broken, it's just that you have to purchase tickets (there are the links to do so) and then I guess they will send you the livestream address via email (or other private way)

Del Vento What a bad experience. The persons creating the website made it very confusing to figure. And then wondering why nobody comes visit 🙁
Also why would you take money for an advertise of a movement that you may or may not fall into? The movement is called PASK, of which some of them have such narrow pianos and making a concert on em.
It is to raise awareness. So why would you take cash for that.

Also, why is it so many women and men are just somewhere in between?

The money is for going to the concert. I am not sure how it's distributed, but making online videos isn't cheap (that's why youtube floods you with ads), and I think the artists also get paid.

Because most pianist men have larger hands and would have troubles using these keyboards

Del Vento Their movement they stem from claims that Pianists can quickly adjust to different sizes without problems.

The very title says 'Stretto'. Thus, this is is advertisement for this minority group. Of course, I would not pay for professional advertise. If it was just named generally, I would consider. But the goal for this festival is to make people interested in stretto pianos, right?

If that really is not the case, then I don't understand anything anymore, as it doesn't sound logical…
