An aquaintance has a sister who play piano and is respected teacher. Worked for the local Baldwin shop. She waiteadecade to ge a Baldwin that she foun acceptable.
Musicians are just as OCD as some audiphiles, apparently ( and from reading Grand Obsession....)
BTW, and I can not find Information to verify this tidbit: Our local Art academy which has a small auditorium attached has a Steinway concert grand ( no I don't know the exact model as I was never really into pianos). I heard several recitals there, and it had a very rich warm tone, unlike the typical Steinways, which to me have a certain brilliance to their sound. I just assumed it was just another brand.
One of my friends was intrigued ( he and his wife play piano) so he went up and checked out the instrument. It was a Steinway, but as he also admitted sounded like no other Steinway he had heard. He did some research and found it belonged to a Chinese Concert Pianist ( Fou Ts'ong?) who brought it over after the communist's takeover. Supposeedly it it is on the list of 100 great Steinways.
I know thw curator of the academy and when told this, he was surprised. His only comment was "we'd better take better care of that instrument !
FWIW
