OK. So, what's the deal between Steinway and Baldwin? What's the difference between them? Which one do you prefer and why? Interested in learning about these two pianos.
Also, how does Bosendorfer figure into the mix? And, what about Yamaha.
But, mostly I'm interested in Steinway and Baldwin. I understand that Horowitz exclusively prefered Steinway, while Earl Wild [so great] liked and recorded with Baldwins.
