Piano differences

[Ray Hopland]

List;

        At the first Ester Honens international piano cometition in Calgary
there were 6 concert grands on stage, A 9' bosendorfer, an imperial
Bosendorfer, a NY Steinway D, a Hamburg Steinway D, a Young Chang and a
Baldwin.  Each one of them had their own particular tone quality.  The two
that sounded the most alike were the Hamburg D and the Young Chang.

        But really, the only way one can hear the fine differences, is when
there are a variety of pianos together and can be easily compared.

Regards,
Ray.
