well I dunno, the free online dictionary has it this way
ster·e·o·phon·ic (str--fnk, stîr-)
adj.
Of or used in a sound-reproduction system that
uses two or more separate channels to give a more
natural distribution of sound.
which is how I was thinking when Bill said a piano isn't stereo.
But common usage these days seems to be stereo = 2 ch.
...and of course I now get what Bill says, that you can't capture a piano
with 2 channels
With a digital piano, I think there's possibly a
different reason why 2-ch stereo sounds better.
I notice that the digi-piano sounds quite realistic playing a single note,
but there's a kind of fuzzy-ness to be heard as the number of simultaneous
notes increases. (which gets worse for discords).
Some kind of interference/intermodulation between the notes which
presumably is reduced by spreading the notes across 2 channels.
