Did you know that Horowitz always playd the same piano on all of hes concerts, He played hes own steinway on hes every concerts, not only that. But he changed the Force needed to get a tone (the force, power, dynamism or how ever you say it in english you need to push down to get a tone, normally its 50 grams or 0,11 pounds, but he changed it to i think 25 grams 0,055 pounds.

yeah, I heard he carried around the same piano. However I think it should be a bit more standard for big time pianists to bring their own piano everywhere...unless most of them do. Or else the pianos they play on everywhere are so good that it doesn't even matter, which seems like the case, sort of.
