As I have said before, it is very easy to hear the difference in tonality...

between a Yamaha and Steinway piano. They are both in tune. But to believe, for a moment, that nearly everyone would prefer the sound of one over the other is silly. And that is what is crazy about the Strad mystique. The desire for a Strad is not about the sound. The book "Grand Obsession: A Piano Odyssey" is interesting reading. Thinking there is one perfect and best instrument out there is like thinking there is one best stereo system. The quest will keep you busy, but it is a fool's game. Even a Strad, like a stereo, can be "voiced"...
