Pianos

When I was in college, I played on a fully upright Mason & Hamlin. It was a beautiful piano in every way. A friend of mine had a 1927 Weber grand. That's a great piano to own but the Weber name is now owned by Young Chang and in my opinion are not the same as the vintage Weber pianos. At work we have two Steinway's. My thought in general is that almost any piano maker can make a great piano for $200,000.

Since I come from Astoria, NY ,I would have to say Steinway. As a kid I can remember going to my Grandparents house and always seeing the piano against the stand up piano ,with music rolls to play songs from the 20s n 30s.Back then it seem like ,all of my relatives had one of those pianos,nice.

I first learned on one of those converted Player Pianos 

This may be the best thread I ever read on Audiogon. Love it!

Our converted player piano never sounded like a real piano even after a visit from the tuner.  It always sounded like the piano in Rocky Raccoon .  After practicing I would always be checking the room for a copy of Gideons Bible
