...nothing beats the real thing. Boesendorfer 9'6" 290 concert grand. I love my audio system, but the piano is sublime.
Follow Ups:
Isnt there a Piano that can be programmed to play selections? I remember reading John Atkinson using one to record Beethovan.Is this Bosendorf that piano I am referring to? How does it work? Is there an amplification?It must be very expensive!I am unable to comprehend the ways of achieving the quality, say can we make it play like Horowitz for instance or some other great piano player?Am I being totally ignorant about this and boring you all? Sorry.
There is a system installed on the piano. It is the playback only system which doesn't have a negative effect on the action. It's the top of the line system made by the PianoDisc Company.
Yes, pianos, including Steinway and Boesendorfer, can be fitted with
MIDI devices with physical playback, meaning the device records exactly the notes played, in the correct timing that they were played,
for the correct duration held, and how loud(velocity sensitive), and when the pedal went down and up. Then the piano can play this back
like a very sophisticated "player-piano". Now, does it capture
the nuances and magic of the original performance?--That would be debatable.
