"I think where Steinway has been very clever in their marketing is in playing up the "individual personality" of each piano. To me, this is a euphemistic way of saying sometimes they come out well and sometimes they don't. While differences in tonal quality may, in fact, appeal to people with varying tastes, I would prefer to achieve those differences through judicious voicing rather than variations in soundboard performance. " For me, they beat the hell out of the typical "cookie cutter" pianos that are so prevalent today! Best Regards, Joe Garrett, RPT, (Oregon) Captain, Tool Police Squares Are I
