I have news for you, it IS a new piano. Give me a piano from the early 1900s. Then you have a good sounding piano. The bass on Kawai pianos is dead

You can always hear a Kawai. The bass is horrible.

“Kowai” is Japanese for “scary” or “dreadful.” Try to pronounce it “kawai.”

since I started to tune the piano by myself, I am not sure if it makes sence to add more tones. The last low tones are so difficult to hear. Even more the the high octave. Stewarts and Sons and also a French piano maker have pianos with 103 tones... not a great win.

White spruce is picea glauca from North America. It has a relatively low modulus of elasticity. Bösendorfer, and most other European piano manufacturers, use picea abies, a species widely available from the alpine region of some European countries, Scandinavia, and Russia. It has a slighter higher modulus of elasticity.

2 comments 1. The additional notes are there because the artist requesting the piano was also an organist; he wanted to play organ literature, full pedal board, on his piano! 2. ¡Look at the placement of the pedal lyre compared to middle C! On old models, the lyre is centered between the front legs. This is disorienting to the pianist accustomed to the lyre under middle C. New models have the lyre under middle C: function overrules visual symmetry.

Thanks for your input. That composer was Busoni asking the company to achieve the deep pitches the longest pipes of an organ produce.

The list price of a model 290 is now $306.999. They are now owned by Yamaha, but still made in Austria. The player system would add up to another $100,000. So the sale price is a reasonable bargain!

@@cadriver2570 sadly luxury brands don’t want commoners to be able to afford them, they keep their factories small in comparison to Yamaha, meaning they have fewer staff and fewer overheads for rent etc. They know who will buy these, mainly concert halls and millionaire recording artists. 100 years ago there was probably a piano in every house, every school, every church, every parish hall etc. There was a lot more demand and turnover of instruments back then
