It's been pointed out to me and should be acknowledged that Steinway no longer makes the 5' 10" Model L which is true. However, the model O is 5' 10 3/4 which is for all intents and purposes the same size, so this model L still is competition for a new model O. I'd go as far as to say that no new Steinway of this size would be competition for a quality rebuilt masterpiece like this, I have seen many sub-par new Steinways within the last few years.
Hello,how you think:what different between sound Steinway L-and Steinway O? ( if,for example make comparison between all Steinway L-what you know,and all Steinway model O what you know?
Nice mellow but still bright sound. My old Mason & Hamlin has a similar sound. I have total control of the sound with my finger pressure. It can whisper or compete with the best studio or small venue grands. I fell in love with it when I found it used in the mid 70s and I still love it. It’s my favorite possession hands down. I can spend hours happily playing for my own enjoyment. When I bought it I also needed a new car. I bought an inexpensive car to afford my piano and today the car is probably somewhere in a junk yard. I assume this piano is in the $50,000 range and is well worth the money. I sometimes stop at the Steinway store on 6th Ave and their new pianos just don’t have the intimate sound. They do have some beautiful classic early 20th c pianos which are nice.
I have only ever played one upright piano (which was in my house when I was born) and after that, everything as been 100% digital for me. The first note you played on this piano opened up my senses. Wow. I am primarily an acoustic guitar player, but I really wish I could play piano well enough to warrant investing in one of these instruments. WOW is all I can really say lol! I really appreciate this sound. Well done to the folks at Meyer, who rebuilt this piano!!🐰❤️🎸🎵🤝✌️
I really appreciate that Kim is not afraid to have you come in and say what you think. Unlike so many other dealers and manufacturers. I have already visited their website because of this. If/when I get in the market they will be a point of contact. Great job to both of you!
It sounded amazing over my 4" desktop speakers AND with UA-cam's compression algorithm. It must be awesome to be there with James while playing it! The transients must be out of this world! Yes, I am not really a piano guy, but I could listen to James playing this for several hours. Nice.
The old ones are good because back in the days, Steinway was able to find tso big trees, that the heartwood in spruces were so width that they could made soundboards with less joints compared to new ones. I believe that's one key reason for their great sound.
This piano has the perfect balance in low frequencies, most pianos I've tried had them either too "dry" or too resonant, this one is nice and warm, it's very satisfying
I recently received a 1913 Steinway Vertagrand, tuned it to 432 htz and after more than 30 yrs of playing, most amazing sound I've ever heard...i get it man!
And still so many of my friends believe a Steinway is the be all end all of piano. I'm not much of a pianist, but I know quality work. My friend Jack says he would take a Steinway from between 1920 - about 1934, my friend Rosalie actually says she loves the sound of a Bechstein. i personally love Bösendorfer and Petrof.
A friend of mine used to have a 1922 Steinway that had been converted to a player piano then unconverted. Despite what was done to it, it was still a phenomenal instrument.
Fasioli sounds great too. Their characteristics aren't that dark like Bosendorfer (but weird enough Bosendorfer has their signature a very high level of clarity sounding but dark dim in colour sounding) but aren't that bright and crispy like most Yamaha and still sounding protruding and prominent in the way it doesn't offending you or making you all the headache XD It has the mid sparkling tone that I really personally like Fazioli as a quite loyal old Kawai piano user... I was surprised when watching Natalie Schwamova's older videos =O
I Can not disagree with a thing you say. A. K. A. YES, I AGREE, WHAT A NICE PIANO. YOU BRING IT TO LIFE AND MAKE IT SING. EXERCISING IMAGINATION, EFFORT, ADAPTATION, TRAINING, REFINEMENT, PASSION, DESIRE, HEARING, PERFECTING.
It's always fun to watch and listen to you play and comment on a piano you love. Kind of endearing, too, the way you say "if you made it this far," when you add the comments about the piano not needing to be re-tuned after a couple of moves. Like who watches only a part of one of your videos? :-) Interesting how Steinway of today struggles to compete with Steinway of the past.
I cannot find anything wrong with this piano. You featured Meier's rebuilt pianos in prior videos. They all sound beautiful with looks to match. You cannot go wrong with superior work ethics.
OMG this sounds so different than most Steinway out there =O This sounds like crystal beads! (especially the higher register) And the mid register sounds so mellow =O Don't ask me how I get this kind of imaginary description
It would be a long way though XD Even devaluing of Kawai pianos are quite slow since they also have their good reputation all these years. Honestly I prefer Kawai's older piano as well, those piano sounds really mellow when compared to nowadays lower to middle range which mostly somehow sounded 'hollow'... definitely not my cup of tea -.-
Amazing sound I can see why you love that piano so much, I bet you wish you could take that home with you as I can see on your face how much you enjoyed playing it.
A wonderful rebuilt one is less than half price so I believe there is something for everyone! I believe steinway realizes that their pianos last forever due to the simple fact that rebuilding them will prolong the life of them and its a good selling feature
The L has a flat nosed soundboard whereas the O has a round nose soundboard. The L soundboard was slightly larger in area. They also no longer make their finest piano the "long A" 6'4" which some say was discontinued because it competed so favorably with the B.
So very wonderful! Thanks. Debussy sounds "formidable". Wish you would play "An American in Paris" (or parts of it) by American composer George Gershwin on the same instrument.
"It's because the biggest competition for a new Steinway is a used Steinway." Alright... as a pianist and as a photographer, this phenomenon sounds sooooo similar with used Leicas. The Leica of today (makes/sells all digital cameras, with a few film models like the M-A, M7, and MP) thankfully does not follow Steinway's example and they do consider their classics just as valuable with their new ones (how they value these are written in my follow-up below). After all it was this heritage from the M3, M2, M6, and even the Barnacks that made them famous. Steinway needs to adopt this mentality too lest they seal their fate as the "evil" prince of piano manufacturers. Edit: I added further context in a follow-up comment below, please do read it if you're still in the woods with my main post there. Edit 2: Thanks for the pin James!
Some additions. By “adding value” Leica still supports repairing these old cameras. Sure they don't get monetary value from these cameras anymore other than the time they sold them decades ago and when they repair it now, but they're miles better with acknowledging history than say other camera companies like Nikon who disallow film photographs in their photo competitions even made with their own film cameras, or even Olympus, who just recently announced that they'd be selling off their camera division elsewhere. Now why am I discussing this in a piano video? It's because being a photographer and pianist myself, I see clearly that both industries face the same dilemma with their historical and current products. Steinway being a big D here and disallowing their name plastered on not-in-Steinway refurbished pianos is like Nikon rejecting film photos made with their outstanding F series SLRs for the sake of marketing their new D series models. In short, valuing your past is a better way to earn bigger profits in the present. Leica knows this very well and uses it to great advantage. That's why Leica Camera has transitioned its business image into a boutique brand for "photographers who live with pure photography" (sorry for stealing your Df tagline there Nikon) thanks to this strategy. Final note: I don't work for Leica nor am I paid to do this. I own a Leica IIIf and a Nikon FM3a (this is my "desert" camera). These were just borne out of my thoughts after seeing this trend so much in photography that this happening in the piano industry makes me worried.
I still want to purchase your test piece for my ring tone and text tone. That would be awesome. The intro for the text and the body (before you expanded it) for the ring.
Listening via a Daniel Hertz MG Pre into B&W actives - I agree about the crystalline treble, warm midrange. Bass seems fine too (sorry not full-range speakers). Please consider a little Philip Glass and Piazzolla. Edit: please do Fazil Say's Black Earth. Really this is good test of a piano.
Really nice video, James. You're right about that top octave - a lot of pianos are too brittle in that range, with not enough fundamental tone for my taste. The low end bark on this piano is very controlled as well. What is your definition of 'Golden Era', and does it apply across all models? Thanks - beautiful instrument, and nice playing!
What a amazing piano! This is indeed a really good rebuild of a probably already a perfect piano. Probably rebuild before the Steinway ban to name it steinway after rebuild or do they got the right anyway. Don’t know. But it is really nice to listen to. I am not going to compare it to a Fazioli or a bösendorfer sound because that’s something else but this sound is really good. And yes I stayed to the end.... thank you for sharing and playing.
You know how sometimes you get a tune stuck in your head, and without realizing it, you spend most of the day thinking it and maybe even humming it? Well, this happened to me the other day with your piano test piece. I know it sounds crazy, but it wouldn't leave my mind. Fortunately, it is a pleasant and unique melody. I hope you have it copyrighted.
It seems like a market with a ton of potential. To get that incredible vintage sound many seem happy to tolerate a clapped out action. But if you can have both that's a killer combination. Thanks for sharing. Apologies if I missed this but what kind of price range do these occupy?
Equal Temperament here? Or Unequal Tunng? I don't have perfect pitch, so have to ask. Do you think the use of a historic unequal tuning would make any difference here? I have to agree that I love the sound in the treble range. It sounds like icicles. You are correct to describe it as a Wiinter-like sound.
Going in the good direction...... maybe or maybe the tuner was in a good mood good luck to understand what we are trying to do on piano’s there is no truth.........

Amazing Steinway L, this even much better than the new Steinway O I ever heard
As one of the world's greatest composers I think either this store, or Steinway and Sons ought to give me one of these pianos for free to put in my porch to compose some beautiful music on
James, Wasn't there a controversy about Steinway not wanting their name on rebuilt Steinway pianos? Maybe I got it wrong, in any case ,they should be ashamed not to maintain their reputation by striving for the great quality they had in the past. Even better, join forces with Meyer and create a new Steinway- Meyer. Wouldn't that be something! Cheers, Rik Spector
@Rik - yes, Steinway has put restrictions on use of its stencils on rebuilt pianos done outside of the Steinway factory. It’s a shame because there are many very reputable craftsman in the trade who take great pride in bringing worn instruments back to life using Steinway parts. James has made references about Steinway’s business practices, and I think this issue is part of that commentary. I happen to own a restored Steinway and would challenge anyone to examine it and say it’s not a genuine instrument.
I was going to remark that even Steinway can’t violate the laws of physics, given the length of the piano. Then I heard you play some bass notes. It appears that they can.

I generally do not ask the prices of instruments, but you could call the store. I think in a case like this realizing all of the work that must have gone into this instrument that it would not be cheap, but to own a very special piano like this would be wonderful and worth investing for years of enjoyment. I myself, would live on nothing to have great music in my life.
Will you please name the piece that you played.. You have been playing this piece since forever to test pianos.. Can you make a video playing the whole long piece.. Plzzz.. I am big fan
If you're a big fan, you'd know by now that he's replied to comments in the past saying that it's not a completed piece and what your previous replier said...
Gem of a piano , not surprising from domestic SS, sort of like how they really do not want people w the $$$ to shop for a new B, to really have a chance to experience the German C I'd say.
Ok so next upgrade from my Kawai CA99 is a Steinway L. That sound is just nasty. That cold treble/middle warm is superior for its size. Just need to find the right piano when the time is right, ie from the right era.
When was Steinway owned by the Japanese? I know they were working with Kawai to produce the Boston line of pianos in Japan, but they never owned Steinway.
It's been pointed out to me and should be acknowledged that Steinway no longer makes the 5' 10" Model L which is true.

You get a like for proper use of the phrase "for all intents and purposes"
@@marzzz1 I have always thought it was "for all intensive purposes;" seeing this in context makes so much more sense 😅
The rebuilder also did a marvelous job of voicing the new hammers. Voicing can be a high art in itself.
Nice mellow but still bright sound. My old Mason & Hamlin has a similar sound. I have total control of the sound with my finger pressure. It can whisper or compete with the best studio or small venue grands. I fell in love with it when I found it used in the mid 70s and I still love it. It’s my favorite possession hands down.

You make me feel that those sweet pianos need to have their souls released when play them. Thank you so much for sharing this experience.
The Art Deco vibe from the silver painted harp knocks my socks off! Thank you for sharing this piano a second time.
Love it! Thanks for the demo and beautiful playing, as always. (Love your gig-- one gorgeous piano after another. 'Way to go!)

I cannot find anything wrong with this piano.
You featured Meier's rebuilt pianos in prior videos. They all sound beautiful with looks to match. You cannot go wrong with superior work ethics.
that treble reminds me of the treble on my Chickering grand. I love the sympathetic vibration and resonance.
And just how soon before that piano follows you home? . . .
Even as a UA-cam video you can hear how fine this piano is!
OMG this sounds so different than most Steinway out there =O
This sounds like crystal beads! (especially the higher register)
And the mid register sounds so mellow =O
Don't ask me how I get this kind of imaginary description
Beautiful instrument, and wonderful playing too!
Very beautiful and dynamic sound indeed! Incredible!
Please offer sheet music for the test piece.
Great sounding piano all around. Nothing overpowering and just beautiful from bass to treble
If Steinway keeps devaluing their used pianos, I might be able to afford one some day. Good news for me, not so much for my neighbors. :^)
ahahahah :)
Tell me about it 😂
It would be a long way though XD
Even devaluing of Kawai pianos are quite slow since they also have their good reputation all these years.
Honestly I prefer Kawai's older piano as well, those piano sounds really mellow when compared to nowadays lower to middle range which mostly somehow sounded 'hollow'... definitely not my cup of tea -.-
Amazing sound I can see why you love that piano so much, I bet you wish you could take that home with you as I can see on your face how much you enjoyed playing it.
Definitely an instrument I aspire to own in the future.
What a wonderful sound and what a wonderful pianist. Thank U+++.
What a gorgeous piano.
I have a Golden Era Model L and I love it.
A wonderful rebuilt one is less than half price so I believe there is something for everyone! I believe steinway realizes that their pianos last forever due to the simple fact that rebuilding them will prolong the life of them and its a good selling feature

Totally agree about both. Oh, and this piano is perfection.
It's warm and beautiful.
Lovely piano. Sparking treble. Please consider playing whole pieces. I like long videos. BTW found a piano tech to visit from Houston.

Omg when you started playing Claire de Lune
I’ll take his word for it.
Thank you for your great channel. Is there some sheet music for your test piece?
And what does a beautiful piece of work like this Cost?

Im in love with the treble test piece ,plz make a tutorial for it
¡Excelente! As we say in Spanish!
That one is worth playing !!!
It has a bright sound I'll give it that , it sounds to me like its been tuned up harmonicly. How much is it? Nice video.
James,

James can you please review the Phoenix piano that has a carbon fiber soundboard.. Would like to hear honest review from you.. :)
Would you please try the vintage C Bechteins? They will blow you completely away.
Hi Man, any posible to review a Korg D1? You made the best reviews on internet. Thanks!
You should work at a stein way store!
Any guesses how much this big boy would Cost ? 😄
Very beautiful sound...
Love your channel
Nice...
You got me with the title 🤣🤣🤣
Yep that's a killer piano tight there. However ends up buying this will be a happy owner !
3 notes on the
treble and I was screaming---beautiful!!
It was just one of those pianos that you could immediately tell was incredibly good.
What kind of hammers are in this piano? Steinway? Another brand?
I was going to remark that even Steinway can’t violate the laws of physics, given the length of the piano. Then I heard you play some bass notes. It appears that they can.
Meyer can....
2:06 we all heard that
Everyone makes mistakes man
Is this piano still at the Showroom
i still have my letter steinway sent me threating to sue me for upgrading their products
I have been told that many have received similar letters. They seem to be set on destroying their legacy.
But why? This is weird.
Upgrading car is legal but not piano?
While it does make some sense in a business way, it's still silly to undersell the own instruments longevity for short term profit.
I could listen to you playing CdL all day long.
What was the piece before SPF, James?
I've heard James play Clair de Lune on countless piano's on his videos. This "version" easily beats them all, thanks to the instrument.

The upper section actually sounds like a Celeste
WOW! Do Meyer rebuilds all happen in Europe? Wish I were closer to southern California!
I have heard that they can pick up a piano here in the states for rebuilding in Europe and then return it to the customer here in the states.
OMG
yes you can get this in Steinway nowadays but at what price...
amazing treble
Are Steinway pianos similar to a Boston piano?
I think the price just went up by about $5k....
Will you please name the piece that you played.. You have been playing this piece since forever to test pianos.. Can you make a video playing the whole long piece.. Plzzz.. I am big fan
it's a piece he composed.
If you're a big fan, you'd know by now that he's replied to comments in the past saying that it's not a completed piece and what your previous replier said...
Gem of a piano , not surprising from domestic SS, sort of like how they really do not want people w the $$$ to shop for a new B, to really have a chance to experience the German C I'd say.
Sympathetic resonance for days...
Why doesn't Steinway want me to see this video?
Because it implies that their more recent offerings are inferior.
What year was it made?
anyone know what is the first piece he played?
how much this cost?
Looks like the Model O?
Ok so next upgrade from my Kawai CA99 is a Steinway L. That sound is just nasty. That cold treble/middle warm is superior for its size. Just need to find the right piano when the time is right, ie from the right era.
When was Steinway owned by the Japanese? I know they were working with Kawai to produce the Boston line of pianos in Japan, but they never owned Steinway.
Where is the es8/515 comparison?
What is the first songs name?
It is his original composition. No sheet music as far as I’m aware
Welches Modell ist das?
L
Johannes Engelhart Steinway D
It's really just an L, but sounds wonderful.
The piano does not have NY Steinway Hammers. I’m willing to bet the piano has Able hammers.
I'm in. But these are Renner hammer heads...
@@bopegasus And Renner is now owned by Steinway, giving them control of the top manufacturer of piano parts. Not good.
I want the pianoooooo
First comment?
