Of all the Grand pianos in Regina that I personally work on the Vienese edition Grand is not
the best, but it is certainly better than any of the Howard line, better than any Samick, better
than a Yamah G1 or GH1. It is certainly better than a Steinway "A
" which needs a total rebuild--new soundboard, new action--like save the plate and wooden frame
and junk the rest.
