Steinway & Sons Model B Grand Piano Demo II: Chopin Mazurka

[ANTONZANESCO]

it is badly out of tune and there are better pianos.

but the older steinays are some of the best.

the best steinways off course are buidl in Hamburg.

[betterfilmmaking]

All the people in here saying they have one of these or a Model D are obvious trolls so just shut up please. These pianos are very expensive so you obviously cannot afford one. I would know. I have a model X from steinway. You probably haven't heard of it but it's 12 feet long and has 100 keys. My grandpa ordered it personally from Henry Steinway and bought it without even asking how much it costs. He didn't even play piano he was just a badass.

@betterfilmmaking Best comment ever. Thanks man.

[GMSamuelRhine]

@betterfilmmaking i would so do the same as him lol

[Achtelnote]

people with a steinway are lucky people:)))).i got a steinway b too.

[mindovermattjr]

Chopin was such a genius. What are you recording this with? Just curious.

[GIULIOPT95]

ma va che piano sprecato tse..

[RevanL47]

That piano is the best sounding instrument i've heard other then a concert grand, if only i could have mine voiced that well.

[paopaomanalansan]

I want your playing and that pianoo!!!!

[kirbyheritage2]

Very nice! I really would love to find at least a baldwin or so, and voice it.... How much time goes into voicing to get it "perfect"?

Thanks

[eltonjohnfan100]

i have a steinway d

[robtic360]

Nice piano, man I wish i could afford one. But I have to ask the question, why is it in you garage or something?!

[Orsino89]

That Model B sounds excellent. Wish I had the funds.

[JacobCotegh]

If you'll write an E.

then tilt your head and look at the E.

It will look like a tilted E.

Cool huh?

[nrvstorm]

Huh?

[GMSamuelRhine]

@JacobCotegh fucking retard lol

[zielarzopl]

mazurka c#?

[kazsozso]

Mazurka in C# minor, Op. 6, No. 2

[vaggelisdx]

OMG! Amazing sound! I would like very much to buy one but is much expensive for the moment :(((

[TheWhiteRabbit1990]

For pianos that sell so high you may concider buying more than a 200$ camera to record it. People aren't able to hear it like it should be through such low quality recording.

[incondicional19]

NICEEEEEEEE

[liszt91]

Ascolta me nn suonare più il pianoforte!!!!!!!!

Tagliateli le mani!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Phoenixrebirth85]

You play it like if it was a Waltz !

[nrvstorm]

...and how shall I turn it into a Mazurka?? Please advise. Thanks!

[Gman6755]

Far too many critics here on Youtube... You are an excellent player!! Very nice rubato in the right places!!

[nrvstorm]

Why thank you.

[jjp009]

nrvstorm: I was trying to figure out myself just what Phoenix meant by his "waltz-like" comment,and I thought he meant you were accenting the first beat much more than the second and third (as you would in a waltz), but that's NOT the case...you accented the second and third very prominently and it was in true Mazurka form! Chopin would have loved your version (as do I). Five stars.

[jjp009]

PS I am also a piano technician (Boston area) and your Steinway sounded top rate! Great job you did with it.

[nrvstorm]

Thank you for your kind compliment. As for the piano that was my first big voicing project. I've since gotten much more experience but that was a pretty sweet B. Boy would I have loved to keep it! But alas...I sold it and bought a house.

[jjp009]

nrvstorm: It has ALWAYS been my dream to own a New York Model D (the big boy), but it's true, having your own home is more important than having a 9-footer in a dinky apartment with neighbors complaining all day! Priorities!

[Ricky17Y]

IT REALLY HAS NICE SOUND!

[sammyvvong]

i love this piece!!

[hellenic300]

good playing

i like this song

[gbmillion]

nice voicing

[BostonRocker51]

very nice - those old Steinways have such a great sound... and your playing is great. Thanks for posting

[SonicDreamcaster]

i don't understand your point of voicing, is rare for me. Never heard of it

[SonicDreamcaster]

where are the missing pieces of that piano ?

[nrvstorm]

I had removed the fallboard (cover) because I was in the process of voicing the piano (using needles to strategically poke the hammers for eveness of tone/color). When voicing you must pull the action in and out, over and over again so the fallboard must be removed. There you go!

[Sviolinist]

brilliant! Great playing. I love this sound!

[SonicDreamcaster]

excellent !!!!!!!
