                    brdwyguy so cool!! I wish I could just make a quick trip there!

                    BTW did you play any of their Perzina pianos? I remember playing a used Perzina grand while piano shopping that I liked a lot. It's not a name we hear much, but I like to be open minded!

                        ShiroKuro Yes, I actually played all of them - they have a rather bright sound.
                        I loved the Kawai GX2, and the Shigaro Kawai Sk6
                        but I have turned into a Steinway Lover ---- hehehehehe
                        all the Steinway's or most of them I loved the full sound.
                        But that's just me

                            brdwyguy they have a rather bright sound.

                            Interesting!

                            I've never played any SK Kawais, only the GX and GL models. Some day... 🙂

                            Also a Bosie and a Fazioli... and an Estonia.... all the pianos we hear about on these sites, but I've never played myself.

                            I have heard a Fazioli live, it sounded absolutely wonderful!

                                ShiroKuro
                                I played a Fazioli and my favorite of all time, C Bechstein (side by side)
                                both were like playing Velvet with Diamonds 🙂

                                Thanks to Faust/Harrison in NYC & Cunninghams in Phila I played
                                Bosie's, Fazioli, C Bechstein, Steinway's
                                all I need to add is a Bluthner - it's the only biggie I haven't played!

                                J

                                    My uni's music school has a Fazioli, but it's not like anyone can walk up and play it! And in fact, it's not always the main concert instrument. I think their S&S concert grands get more use.... And if memory serves, the Fazioli that's here is one of the 7 foot (or 7.5?) models, not the 9' one. So that may be why the S&S ones get more use, bc I think there are several 9' Steinway grands...

                                    sorry, bit of thread drift. All to say, I am not likely to get the chance to play any of these models any time soon!
