![]() I almost made an evaluation score for each piano by writing this thread, but finally I abstained, because it also depends a lot on the repertoire, the sound recording technique, the room volume, and especially the taste of each person. I would also be embarrassed to make a ranking. All together, they are a plethora of acoustic riches. Even if I put the Grotrian 4th, it feels like a ridiculous ranking - it's still a pretty fantastic model. **************** EDIT: SEE BELOW ON THIS PAGE, THE SAME TEST IN A 10,000 m3 CONCERT HALL ****************īut I do feel a bit embarrassed ranking them. Of course, the comments I added are just my personal opinion, and it is possible that other people have a very different perception of the sound of each instrument.Īlso, notice that the sound characteristics of each instrument will be different depending on the placement of the microphones and the room characteristics. low-mids confused and a little '' underwater '' (but can be corrected with an EQ) Steinway pianos typical ‘‘beaded’’ sound quite boomy and confused in the low-mids (but can be corrected with an EQ) a little imposing, however a little ‘‘flabby’’ low range slightly confused, but generally quite good clarity it is closest to the fortepiano sound than the other pianos in my opinion The purpose here is not to hear the sound of the pianos as if they were next to you in the room, but to listen to their sound in a realistic demo recording configuration (not a cd), raw and without post-production to correct the sound defects. ![]() Īll recordings were made with the same microphones placement, in the same room (deliberately, a small piano showroom). Maybe the recordings below will be able to give some answers, without pretending to be the absolute truth. I noticed that many people on this forum are wondering what is the difference between the new Pianoteq Steingraeber and the other concert grand pianos.
