even *I* sounded pretty good. :-DThe sound of Lower registers of Bosendorfer
is hard to beat.
I did too, at a now-defunct Sherman Clay store in Los Angeles. I actually preferred the sound of a Baldwin concert grand in the same store.
a lot to do with the make of the strings. Different strings will produce different overtones, can make the piano sound kinda tubby. A set of good bass strings installed can run you $800-$1000. Not a cheap proposition. Restorers sometimes use inferior strings to save a buck or two thus ruining a perfect piano. I guess it would not be the case for a new $50K piano, but i have heard many vintage Steinways sound horrible in the lower registers.
