[libetta]

what piece was he playing at 0:53?

[EstoniaPiano]

@libetta Freedom's Sound music at 0:53 was a section of the Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 5, II movement

I agree that it is difficult top find pianos which have still that tone from the ancient times, deep and "romantic". When the treble will be more lively those will be really excellent.

[Pianotec]

May be too much ribs or too large, in the treble make that soundboard difficult to load there ... and heavy.. On the other hand it is part of the robust tone in the mediums probably...

I have been looking for a piano for a while now. I was pretty sure that I wanted a Yamaha C2 or a C3. But than, I tried an Estonia 190cm and after 5 notes, I was sure that it would be my piano. I can't describe that feeling of sitting behind the piano and hearing it for the first time. It just sounds and feels amazingly good and I am so happy that I found that piano. The company makes an incredible job and I can't wait for the piano to be delivered

People will only buy a piano once, because there are expensive.

@death2pc I understand, just that "liberal" means something else in Europe and especially in Estonia. Liberals are something like centrists in most countries, between the conservatives and social democrats. In Estonia, liberals even usually mean liberal conservatives.

@eksiarvamus

Can you count to twenty without having to take your shoes off? If so, then you'd understand that today's liberal in America is Marxist. You remember Karl Marx, moreover Stalin and what the darling USSR did to Estonia, right? In the former Soviet block Estonia, among other Marxist influences, companies such as Estonia Piano, that were, of course, part of The State, naturally suffered. American liberals (Marxists) do not believe in freedom. Only The State. Do the "math".

Hello!

[eksiarvamus]

@death2pc What do you mean with not showing this to liberals? some US/European "liberal" definition difference?

[ROMANTICLOVE09]

Beautiful, quality instruments!!

[death2pc]

If this isn't an indictment of what Socialism is and does, I don't know what is...................

Don't show this to any liberal, they'd almost have a heart attack were it not for all the Kool Aid they swill...................

[jazzflutist]

I will be accompanied by someone playing an Estonia piano this Sunday (Debussy, Fauré). They have a beautiful sound.
