![]() but when i was just sitting around playing for myself seems like i always ended up on that 6' kimball.Interesting: do you know the years these particular Kimball's were made? Mine is a 1977 or '80, not sure with the engraving by the name - it's a bit mystical?!? It has Steinway hammers etc., and plays and sounds good - bright (as I tend to like more often than not) but not strident.Īlso, I have to concur with the other poster re: tuning - a PROPERLY tuned piano can make all the difference in the world. and had access to stein/ boes/kawai/and some lesser imports. at one point i was selling pianos in wash dc. for a short period kimball owned boesendorfer and these are boesy's built in indiana. if your looking for the proverbial steal. the attention to detail and consistency between instruments is top notch. 70 miles south of Atlanta, GA& all interstate right off I-85. and can adjust the action to your tastes, as to brands.

But I find that i really can't sink my teeth into them. The action on the Bechsteins is very precise and even and they're very good for playing French-type piano music, watery atmospheric stuff, if you know what I mean. Kind of like driving a car with an underpowered engine. I agree with the description above of Bechstein's mellow warm tone, but they have less dynamic range than a Steinway and therefore seem less fun and responsive to play. Of course, Yamaha's do that bright pop sound really well. But I'm surprised when I stumble on a great yamaha because generally, it's the Steinways that are that good, not the Yamahas. I had no idea Yamahas could be that good. I've seen some amazing yamahas in studios that blew me away. A well-voiced, -regulated, -miced, and -tuned (tune higher than 440 for a brighter sound) Steinway can do anything. ![]()
