Your favorite piano brand?
on: October 28, 2014, 08:07:53 PM

If I didn't mention your favorite, I'm sorry. I went of wikipedia's list of the world's piano manufacturers, and tried to include everyone! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_piano_makers
Also, feel free to discuss why you like or dislike a certain piano brand.
I myself, although I love Steinway's as much as the next pianist, am a HUGE fan of Bosendorfer and Feurich. And I've played on one particular model of Yamaha Grand's that makes everything sound gorgeous.
*Even though Bosendorfer has been acquired by Yamaha, I'm still counting them as a separate entity as their pianos differ greatly from Yamaha's pianos.

Your list is bad and you should feel bad!  :D

From the limited pianos I've actually played, I like Grotrian Steinweg and C. Bechstein best.
I don't really care for the Yamahas or Steinways (american) I've met but Kawaii is ok, I'd like to hear/play a Shigeru.
