Ok , So great pianos must have great criticism..? right?But I likes all kind of pianos and I admit some of them are excellent !but to my mind, some great names are famous not because marketing but because they provide excellent products.Why people rather like BMW than Peugeot? Microsoft than other systems...? Guerlain than any perfumes? Stradivarius rather than other brands?I think that everyone has the right to say they'd better like Yamaha, Kawai, even Samick ( which is horrible) but has not the right to say that Steinways are not enough good..Whay no one speaks about teh fact yamaha is a mass producing Pianos?? about more than 200 000 a year they are made by computers and machines !!!Yamaha is much like microsoft or "made in china" products rather than Steinway ( where ervy instrument is made by hand at 80%)Rgds,
What I found illegitimate was when someone says Steinway is not good and at the same time says that Kawai/Yamaha is excellent !!!From my point of view that's is definitely false !
