Boston GP-163

[nyonyo]

Today, I went to the authorized dealer for Steinway pianos. I am on the market for a grand piano.  At the beginning, I spent my time on Steinways. I might have tried about 15 Steinways. Most of them are vary in sounds and touch as well as mechanical movement, I was not impressed by any of the pianos. It was quite frustrating for expensive pianos to be like this. Out of 15 pianos, only one Steinways model B that I marginally like. Out of curiousity, I moved to Boston 5'4" baby grand, I believe it was model GP-163. I was blown away by the sound and also the touch etc. I immediately stopped playing Steinways. I tried about 8 of Boston grands that are available. I am baffled by the consistency of sound and touch of those grand pianos. I was very pleasantly surpised by this. The touch is kind of heavy like Steinway, not like Yamaha (light). The sound is definitely not like a bright Yamaha. I just need to work wit the price.

...no two Steinways are alike...at least that's the marketing pitch...

...or, as has been mentioned (here?) before, certain Steinway dealers don't even bother prepping their pianos to the optimal standard since, according to the dealer, most of their buyers can't even play the piano...

So it makes it such a delight when one (or at least, I) can find a wonderful Steinway ^^
