The Shigeru Kawai is so much better (than Steinway) it's not even funny," Treibitz said. "I wish I could put Steinways in my showroom next to the Shigeru Kawai, so people could understand."
the piano is a universal intstrument you can play anything on the piano. and a Steinway half the time will go up in value. so if you payed $60,000 for it lets say 20yrs later it might be worth $80,000
@BBgunmaster67true, i read where gold has fallen in the last 10 years globaly, but steinways have gon up 200%!! amazing, i have a fender stratocaster guitar i bought new in 2005 for £599, its now worth that second hand!!!! a good instrument is always a good investment i belive
What's with all the damn hatin!? The guy is fortunate enough to get a Steinway, and plays well. I didn't you needed to play like Georges Cziffra to own a Steinway...
To the owner of that beautiful instrument - Congrats! I hope to own a Steinway someday.
that track sounds like somthing I was just listening to oscar peterson play, its a jazz track, it might have been written by thelonius monk tho, im not sure
You obviously have no ideas what your talking about. Steinway have never been 'The' piano. Whilst they 'were' excellent before ww2, A very risky and costly marketing exercise placed them in every major concert hall on Earth. gifted as part of Steinway's plan.
That's the reason why they were so popular, because they are simply heard more than any other brand.
Did you know that Steinway buy in complete actions from Yamaha these days?
@korglove It doesn't matter one iota whether he can play well or not, if buying that piano makes him happy,,,,, then we should be happy for him.
Everyone deserves to be happy,,, If a piano like this would make you happy then you should get one,,, irrespective of your ability to play! His playing ability will not make him a nicer person will it? Not any more than it will make you a nice person!!
The title is misleading... this video is not about the art of selecting a Steinway!
As far as the customer's comment goes, I believe he simply wanted something 'shiny' and just 'fell in love' after trying out that particular piano. I thought the video would be on more technical side. What a waste of bandwidth.

Steinways are sooo beautiful...although it'll probably be forever until I can afford one. I think I've played one like 3 times..maybe? && I lovedd it!! (:
oh my goodness Ive never been able to play a steinway :( I dont have the courage to ask harrods people to let them play one of their ones but now that I am joining the royal colleges in London I hope that I will finally be able to try one out =D
@isym444 Forget about the Steinway's at Harrods, Overrated like Rolls Royce,,, clever marketing. Trot down to Jaques Samuel Pianos on Edgware Road ask if you can try one of the Fazioli's,,,,, stunning! Tell them you starting at the Royal College and someone suggested you try a Fazoli,,,,They are sooty but nice, it's probably worth a look around the basement they have lots of pianos sitting around you could try may even be one of those Horror's Steinway's that someone has traded in for a Fazoli
@orrinoconnor haha thanks yeah I have now been able to play both fazioli and Steinway etc. now that Im at rcm but thanks anyways...Ill stick to my yamaha U1 !!
@isym444 Just DO IT!!! Haha...I am constantly making a nuisance of myself in piano stores. They know I don't have the cash for one...but ONE day! You have to try one!
@KrixPrix Yeah, you are really lucky because at our school we have a shitty Zmichi (or something, I really didnt pay attention to the manufacturer) upright piano that is out of tune, even.
@undertakerbesteva just 5 days ago I visited a Steinway piano gallery. The cheapest grand they had, which was also the smallest was 48 thousand. Can you beleive it? 48 thousand? The average citizen makes 46 thousand a year, without paying taxes, bills, food, clothes, and entertainment. Can you imagine? The prices that they ask is unbelievable, yes it is a good instrument, but the dealers should keep in mind that people also have a life to pay for.
@Martel211996 All that said they still run their business well and have their own customers. happily nowadays one doesn't have to be stuck on that and can enjoy playing music on a fine digital instrument or better on a midi-keyboard with the software instrument. they are no toys.
@assa123assa123 I have a Kawai 6, 1 brand new for 14 thousand. The instrument is fantastic and its not worse than a Steinway. Why overpay for a product simply because it has a famous name? They still run their business well because rich, and prestigious schools buy their instruments. For example, Julliard is an ALL Steinway school. They have over 100 studios in their school and most of the rooms have 2 Steinway grands in them. They make a good business off of rich concert pianist and schools.
i have the joy of being able to play the concert grand steinway at our school and its extraordinary. just amazing. its 100 yrs old, rosewood. :) truly exceptional instrument.
I've only played a Steinway once as well but didn't quite like the action. I must include that it was a restored one (not that that should necessarily matter). I would love to play a brand new one some day. For now I've settled on a great Perzina which I'll be getting in a couple months for the new studio.
in some cases the more aged the piano the better. I remember when I was playing a baby grand steinway for a performance and it literally sung to me when I hit each key. It was OLD.
According to there site a steinway goes up 200percent in 10 years???!! There words guys not mine
