Is Steinway your ultimate destiny?

[classicarts]

When I hear a extravagant sound of a grand piano, I dont have to second guess it's not a Steinway.  Infact, I can pretty much bet my beer money on it.     It almost seems there's no other piano's out there that can match the sound and quality of craftmanship of a Steinway.  When I see a grand concert Steinway, I see not just a piano but something devine.  A enlightening experience  occurs and my eyes go crossed eyed, my knees starts to shake like a duck walk going out of style. My palms gets all sweaty and sometimes I begin to hear Beethoven "Moonlight Sonata."    Go figure!!

It almost seems there's no other piano's out there that can match the sound and quality of craftmanship of a Steinway.

It almost seems there are no other pianos out there that matches the sound and quality of craftmanship of a Steingraeber.

It almost seems there are no other pianos out there that matches the sound and quality of craftmanship of a Foerster.

It almost seems there are no other pianos out there that matches the sound and quality of craftmanship of a Yamaha.

It almost seems there are no other pianos out there that matches the sound and quality of craftmanship of a Young Chang.

It almost seems there are no other pianos out there that matches the sound and quality of craftmanship of a Bechstein.

You get the idea

When I see a grand concert Steinway, I see not just a piano but something devine.  A enlightening experience  occurs and my eyes go crossed eyed, my knees starts to shake like a duck walk going out of style. My palms gets all sweaty and sometimes I begin to hear Beethoven "Moonlight Sonata."    Go figure!!

Just don't start any wars over this God of yours

 Your ears are fooling you. Many other pianos are used in recording studios, and electronic magic can make many smaller grands sound like 9ft concert grands. I guess you have'nt played a Bösendorfer Imperial concert grand, because you would be saying the same thing as in you're Steinway comparison, except it's more of an erotic experience.

I think your Ferrari comment in the other thread is probably a good analogy.

The word "Ferrari" puts across a perception / image of a car - that's accepted by "everyone" - you don't have to know anything about cars. In reality "Ferrari" is also the name a bunch of products you can buy - they are good, no doubt, but nevertheless not without equal and flawed in many ways, just like any other product.

Buy one of each and see.

You´re so acustomed to the Steinway sound, that every other pianos seems strange.

Don´t get mad, but that happens with Coke too. I´ve told this once, and all got mad with me. But it´s true. I don´t care.

I like Steinway pianos, I´m saturated too.
But I like Bösendorfer, Förster and Yamaha the same way.
