Re: Bösendorfer sound

[Bec and John]

Hi André,

It's interesting because for quite some time I always thought the 
Bösendorfers were obnoxiously bright pianos - every time I heard one 
(usually on TV) they were unpleasant to listen to. The few I had played 
were also too bright for my taste. I just thought that's the way they 
were.

Then Rich at Cunningham Piano showed me a few about 6 years ago, and 
one in particular I found to be the prettiest piano I had ever played 
up to that point! Visually too, it was beautiful. Somewhere around 6' 
in size. Ever since then my perception of them totally changed.
