@Renga488 - Donald Swann swore by his 1920s Bechstein which sounds GORGEOUS in the old Flanders & Swann recordings (and God knows Swann gave it no quarter, nowhere to hide any weaknesses). I can't get over just how cheap they are these days compared to equivalent Steinways and Bösendorfers!

@heavensomewhere - which is the venue for which the Imperial was created!
-
@flashpadxxx - lucky bastard! =D

@rolandatheola - FAR better. Steinways these days are mass-produced junk, a too-bright, tinny tone, lots of nasty buzzing resonances. There's the odd excellent one but, having been to their sales on a number of occasions, the majority are nothing special. A Bösendorfer, even an ordinary 6ft or so one, is a true work of art. Mine sounds richer and more mellow than this, but I suspect this one could use some toning work! Mine's also much older, built 1917. It's WONDERFUL: I love it!

@rolandatheola People with Steinways trade theirs in for a Bosendorfer. I won't perform or record on anything but.

@dragonsagoth666 Intricate? What do you mean sir? Cheers

Beautiful

Subjective, but Bösendorfer is a lot more intricate than Steinway. I love them more than any other piano, save for Kawai and Shigeru Kawai.

I frequent the Mises institute here in Auburn and have access to this piano more or less whenever I ask nicely ^_^

OK ... It WAS an 'Opinion; and not a 'Fact'.
As far as the quality of Steinways goes, the only ones I can personally testify about are the Model A (particulary the ones made in the late 20's) and the Model B (the ones made in the late 30's) ... the other variations are good quality Pianos but ONLY the two I mentioned compare favorably with the Bosendorfers.
My highly biased 'Opinion' is that the sound of the early Steinway Grands has never been exceeded.
No,I'm sorry, both pieces were taken from the recordings.

The two tunes are in part: Hymn to Freedom, Oscar Petersen and Echoes of Spring Willie "the Lion" Smith
