Boston 178cm grand piano

[tosca1]

Dear all,
Do many of you own or have played a Boston grand piano and in particular the Boston GP178?   I have had  one for nearly 5 years which I bought new.  Generally, I am very pleased with this piano and the sound has developed and become richer over the time I have had it.  Its tuning is stable and the sound is warmer and fuller than my experience of similar sized pianos in the same price bracket.  I do not like a hard, excessively bright piano sound and my tuner/technician has coloured the sound to my preference.
However there is a tone discrepancy with a bass note on the break and I have been trying to find some remedy for this minor problem which has a decidedly different tone colour to the notes around it.
Overall, however I believe that these pianos are good value at their price and I  would interested in hearing other opinions about these instruments.
Thank you.
Robert.

Personally I am a big fan of the Boston Piano. They have a very nice consistent warm tone. Imho- I think they sound better than the comparable Kawai's and Yamaha's.  The biggest reason for this is the low tension scale. It gives the piano a nice dynamic voice and an incredible sustain that is impossible to achieve with a Yam or Kawai.

Thank you very much for your reply benthepianoboy and as I have invested in this piano it is encouraging to read your very positive comments.  I know that for its price and kind of manufacture that
its sound can hardly rival that of its illustrious close relation.  I believe too that the Boston piano has its distinctive voice and is not simply a mass produced piano.  I very much appreciate your remarks.
Robert.
