Steinway bashing, cont.

[gordon stelter]

Fair is fair: the Petrof I played was brand new, in
excellent regulation and perfectly tuned. !!GLORIOUS!!
The "B's" are in University practice rooms, 5 years
old. But I played them when brand new and they weren't
so hot then, either! Question: WHAT, specifically, can
one expect to do to a new Noo Yawk Steinway to upgrade
it from "status symbol" to "musical instrument". I am
really curious.
