I do too... as I mentioned. But that doesnt mean I cant express my own differing experience.... whos posse is whos posse ?? > I have experienced the same problems with the same pianos. Does this mean that Steinway doesn't produce good instruments, not at all, it just means that Steinway has produced some not so good pianos. The Steinway bashing comments I mentioned have been going on as long as I have been on this list and I was not refering to Yamaha bashing "so lets keep our poker decks seperated from our pinochle decks if you dont mind." yes lets do.... you said.... "As a technician who works on a lot of Steinways I find it amazing that we can not even discuss the problems at Steinway without it being called condemnation or bashing" And I replied that I didnt single out any particular pianos to defend in the thread about bashing quality pianos,,,, and further I stated that that particular post was stimulated by a comment on Yamahas not being made as well as some other asian pianos. And on top of that the post was taken up on in the humorous spirit it was made by a couple other folks and we had a nice chuckle about it. So I fail to see where your above sweeping generalization fits in the present discussion. > To quote you "From your experience you feel justified in condemning what the vast majority of pianosts clearly recognize as the best," this is a prime example of a Steinway bashing comment. Terry never condemned all Steinways, he just pionted out the problems he has had with one model, one vintage. > > David Koelzer > DFW David.... We seem to disaggree as to what constitutes bashing and what constitutes constructive criticism. I am content with to leave things on that level myself. Terry can and does speak quite well for himself. And I dont think he read any animosity or anything more then my usual tongue in cheek for that matter from the quote you decided to take out of its context. Keep a smile on :) Cheers !
