Great video. Thank you!
Steinway is making harder and harder for independent restorers to restore their pianos.
thanks for explanation!
I’ve been in the piano restoration business for many years. The majority of the instruments that I take on as a project are Steinway…..mostly from 1900 to 1940. I think this could be called the golden era for Steinway production based on what I have seen since then. You are right when you say that we don’t restore them to their original condition, but we do try to maximize the tone and touch so that the instrument will always be there for the performer. It is a challenge but usually I am not disappointed.😊
Very interesting...thank you...food for thought.
3:32 _".....especially the soundboard...."_ This. It is like the body of a violin and the striking mechanism is analogous to the violin bow.
I had the hammers re-felted on my 1914 Steinway Vertegrand, (Will Steinway even do such a thing? I doubt it.) so I guess that makes it a Steinwas even though the only part that was changed was the hammer felt. The sound is phenomenal. I can attest to the what Mr. Korolev says about the reactivity of the soundboard.
Someone spoke the truth, but Steinway won't listen, its no longer a piano maker, its a money hungry luxury brand
I own a Hamburg model R from 1909. I got to understand that Steinway factory people think it’s old crap. In the U.S. Steinway made a bonfire with old table piano’s (I played one once and it’s really beautyful).
Гена, привет! Отличое видео, даже мне, человеку далекому от этой темы, понравмлась твоя мягкость и убедительность. Решил изучать английский язык по твоим аидео. Удачи!
Виталик спасибо тебе, очень приятно и конечно буду рад тебя слышать. Звони когда будет время.
As much as I can appreciate that a poorly restored piano can be detrimental to a company's image and they would want to distance themselves from it, if we're honest Steinway coined (and are trying to popularise) the Steinwas monicker mostly because they are preoccupied with their bottom line. This is understandable. They area business, not a charity, and they need to sell new pianos to stay afloat.
However, they aren't willing to restore old pianos at a reasonable price and are actively obstructing others from doing so by being uncooperative. All this is within their rights, but it's important to be clear as to what's going on.
Personally I would never, ever buy a new grand piano. Even in the best brands the wood in a new instrument simply isn't at the stage where it resonates anywhere near as well as the aged wood of a 50+ year old instrument. Finding a good sample of a quality older piano (ideally without cracks in the soundboard!) and having it expertly restored is the best way to ensure you get an instrument that will not only last for generations, but it will also sound amazing from the word go rather than you having to wait for the next (minimum) 30 years for it's sound to mature and start producing those rich, beautiful overtones that make the piano sing and sound alive.
Shigeru Kawai purchased very old wood for their soundboards. The pianos have a gorgeous dark quality tone. They may have run out of this old stock.
