[CAUT] Piano Preferences

[David Love]

Probably not the right approach as it's too subjective and there are no
answers to the questions you're asking.  A better approach might be to
discuss why different pianos have different tonal characteristics and what
those are and why.  It's a discussion of design and you can talk about the
three components of tone: scale, soundboard, hammer and how different
designs tend to produce different outcomes.  It's a presentation I've done
and can be quite interesting for people.

I am scheduled to give a talk on the types and brands of pianos suited to
particular kinds of music, such as jazz, List, Beethoven, accompanying the
voice. Do you fellows have opinions or knowledge of what pianos might be
appropriate for certain music?
