Steinway pianos: broad range of tone
Bechstein pianos: romantic tone, bell-like to my ear A new Steinway grand, flagship (top of the line) Model D, which is designed for the concert stage and has 15 coats of shellac, ranges from $148,000 to $164,000. I suppose a few concert pianists own a Model D, maybe used. Pianos last longer than a car and need regular tuning at least once a year to keep them up to pitch and playing the correct notes. Strings stretch a great deal during the first year after purchase, and the piano should be tuned twice. My first piano had real ivory keys, and unlike everyone else in the orchestra, a pianist memorizes all the notes. That's the rule, but at Kayden's level, there is a lot of finger memory. Pianists develop quirks, if they don't already have them at the start, which make him more lovable. Yes, I admire a 16-year-old. Tune a piano after it is moved from one building or house to another. It is inexpensive and takes about an hour. Please leave. It will drive you nuts. Tuners look normal.
