    • @BloodandLight33
      @BloodandLight33 Рік тому

      I believe that the Steinway is the most "copied", emulated and imitated piano in the world of pianos, which is also why it has become boring. The differences between the brands are now unfortunately subtleties, compared to the past. Then everyone has their sound preferences, and the Steinway is nothing special, at least for me, they have building the same models with similar geometries for over a century. The innovation is almost absent, and instead they (and not just them) go ahead with aggressive advertising and pervasive marketing. Steinway is also, if I'm not mistaken, publicly traded. All very far from art. It's the cynical business world.

    Grey for the whole instrument gives a sad impression. My humble opinion. Classical alliage of wood and golden colours are more appealing for me

    • @GrandPassionPianos
      @GrandPassionPianos 2 роки тому

      Dear Julio. That is a completely valid opinion and I do not believe that such a specific looking instrument would appeal to everyone. We work with more traditional Pleyels too, but the brand always embraced contemporary design throughout its history. Pleyel was also one of the first brands to use solid colours on their pianos, so we hope this piano captures the avant-garde side of Pleyel, as well as the original Pleyel sound. All the best and thank you for watching the video.
