I agree with you about the sweet sound. The thing is, two other Bluthner grands I tune have a similar tonal quality. Neither has aliquot scaling though. One, curiously, is in another manor house, and the other, smaller and newer, belongs to my local pharmacist and is much younger. They all have a similar sweetness, and light action. Here's a pic of the other older one, in its setting. The similarity in tone made me think back to my comment a couple of weeks ago, abut the similiarty in 100 year old Bechsteins I tune, to a brand new one in the local theatre. I guess the long-established factories develop a sound quality the like, and stick with it. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
