One of the reasons why a piano is more superior than a digital keyboard is that a digital piano gives you only a 2-D audio experience but an acoustic piano gives you a 3-D audio experience.
How old is old for a piano?
In general, you can compare a piano's life span to the life span of a human. During the first 3 years of the piano's life, it needs to be tuned more frequently. It is just like a very young boy or girl who needs more nurturing. Depending on how well the piano is maintained or how much it's neglected, a 50 years old piano can still play well or problems may start to emerge. Chances are, problems can exist earlier if it has been neglected. What about a piano that is 100 years old? Think about how many people at a hundred years of age are still very healthy. Yes, a person of 100 years of age can still live well, but it takes some good genes, good environment, and a health life style to stay healthy. Same goes for pianos - a good quality and a well maintained piano can definitely last longer. The Three Biggest Enemies of Pianos are humidity, dryness, and fluctuation in relative humidity.
