That's because those pianos are likely prepped properly. Many are not. =
Steinways don't have a killer octave if they are voiced properly. I went =
to a lecture by a Steinway dealer tech that explained all that clearly. =
He instructed that new Steinway pianos will commonly have an area in the =
fifth or sixth octave that is weak compared to the rest of the piano. =

the rest of the piano down to match. That is how you voice a new =
Steinway. That makes the killer octave go away - er, ahhh, ummmm, I mean =
that makes for a properly voiced new piano. Problem solved.

No kidding. True Story.
