It’s incredible what they’ve done with the marketing so far and pretty cool that they’ve built the vault for piano geeks like us. I think the one thing it is missing is something more historical similar to Horrowitz’s piano but maybe there’s not much left along those lines? Not very knowledgeable on what’s availble on that. Had the opportunity to also experience the spirio mechanism a couple weeks ago in London and it is pretty cool to see how well it works. Thanks for putting this together for us.

@@namelessone3339 Although I must admit, I love the wood veneer pianos, especially the darker one where you can -- just -- see the seam at the front, I wonder how much of the price of a Steinway is due to marketing on their name, when there is is at least two other's (viz. Bösendorfer, or Fazioli ), which are equally renowned for their tonality, 'colours,' brightness, etc, but are only known to either pianists or, to someone like me, whom grew up listening to Bach played by the greats, not least Glenn Gould, but wished had had piano practice age 10 onwards, but can still appreciate that different pianos are brighter, or softer, and so forth ... It reminds me of how Hennessy Cognac is marketed, especially their Louis XIII, in its Baccarat crystal decanter, when, actually, a much smaller company called Delamain, produces a Cognac that is the Reserve De La Famile (lit. normal resevered for family only, but a few casks of a certain vintage is released per year) that, abet much cheaper, is a far superior sipping experience. They are practically unheard of, as they pour way more money into their product, especially as they don't own huge vineyards. But, to cognac aficionados, the Reserve De La Famile comes very close to a perfect 100 in terms aromas, flavours on the palate and, key this, low 'alcohol burn' -- from whence 'smoothness' derives from -- which means that you have a much better tasting experience, especially given the almost handcrafted nature, from vine to bottle ... The true irony ...? A specific casked number bottle of Reserve De La Famile is roughly £600 for a standard 75cl, whilst, because of the Baccarat crystal decanter you get, the Hennessy Louis XIII is ~£1,500+ for about the same volume ... Yes, the Delamain is still not that cheap for a plebian like me to buy, but quality over quanity, even if the Hennessy is a blend of various Cognac, the 'youngest' about 20 years old, to the oldest, ~100 plus, despite that, you're still buying into the Hennessy 'hype', and not the actual product; in other words, you have that expectation vs experience, rather than a much smaller company, that spends its time giving a damn, and not hype; instead, what hype there is, is generated by those whom are genuinely blown away by the flavour profile that leaves Hennessy almost like drinking after-shave, as very crude comparison ... In other words, can Steinway pianos, when compared to lesser known piano makers, are stil able to justify their price points, when either a Bösendorfer, or a Fazioli, say, has the same tonality etc, but at cheaper, relatively speaking, cost ...?

I had expected to see examples of important historical/technological landmarks in the development of the piano -- which, to an extent, Steinway has spearheaded (with a few other companies) since it was founded in 1853. Why all the weird, kitschy instruments ("this one has crystals in it!")?

There are some really well-made pianos in this era, for sure - Steinway, Yamaha CFX, Fazioli, etc. But there's nothing like what was made in the golden age of piano production. If you ever get a chance to find a Baldwin grand (specifically over 6') from 1930s-50s, from a master tech in mint condition, it will be the best experience of your piano life. I know first hand. The design, intonation, reverb, and timbre will melt your ears.

Miss Tiffany, thanks for allowing us inside the vault ! It’s absolutely amazing! Love listening to you play as always !

Factory tour? When I actually worked for a living, I occasionally gave tours of the factory I worked at. They were generally tailored to the audience: Technical tours for the engineers and technicians, more basic tours along with a healthy dose of schmooze for the financial types . The one common theme was to take tourists on a voyage from raw materials arriving at Receiving through all the different processes to transform raw materials into finished products, and finally, the load-out in Shipping where we watched the products drive off into the sunset (metaphorically speaking) bound for customers. I personally would like the technical tour: You know, saw dust, hammers and whatever it takes to make a Steinway. . .

But it gave me such a thrill to play my hero's piano concerto just as Hans von Bulow would have played it on that memorable day. Life has its moments, doesn't it...?

Thank you so much, Tiffany! This was FABULOUS!

Ms. Poon, VERY interesting! Beautiful pianos AND exquisite samplings of your repertoire. You are truly a fine pianist, such musicality and clean technique. I have my Steinway story too. My father was an MIT graduate in the late 40's. When he graduated he wanted an appropriate environment for entertaining friends and colleagues. He decorated and furnished the parlor, livingroom and dining room of his parent's home in the manner he felt suitable for such endeavors. There are large photos showing the furniture tastefully arranged as he made everything look sophisticated and proper. The crowning touch was a Steinway grand piano (model A) he had purchased. It was an element of status in his mind, as he didn't play the piano. During WWII he was employed by an oil company in Chicago as a mechanical engineer. He rented a garage for his car from a family in Evanston. He was looking for someone to accompany him on the piano while he sang. The family from whom he was renting had a daughter in a local Jr. High and he asked the parents if there might be a faculty member who would be interested. They gave him the # of the chorus teacher. She said was doing enough accompanying, but wouldn't mind going out for dinner! The rest is history. They moved to Milwaukee, Wisconsin (virtually sight unseen) because they didn't want to raise children in Chicago. My mother was an honors graduate in choral conducting and piano from Northwestern University and conducted church choirs in the Milwaukee area. When I was in 7th grade my father had the piano from Hartford, Connecticut moved to our Milwaukee home. I and my two sisters studied piano (not by our mother, she was too smart for that). He had the piano overhauled and played it perfectly. "Slow forward".......after our parents passed away, I inherited the piano, my sister's, an electronic and several harps (our mother sang and performed on harp professionally and my sister was the harp faculty at the University of Denver, first call union harpist and played with the Denver Symphony Orchestra). I retired several years ago and my wife and I didn't have room for a grand so we offered it for sale. It took awhile to get some inquiries, but finally a gentleman who was a professional sound engineer and had a professional recording studio was looking for a pro quality piano for his commercial clients. He came over with his piano tuner/repair colleague to test it out. He tried it out and was impressed, but he wasn't that skilled. However, his piano mechanic was. OMG, he really gave it a workout. I'd never heard that piano performed that loud and wonderful. It was in our livingroom that had a vaulted ceiling and sounded like a concert hall. They thoroughly checked EVERYTHING out, ALL the mechanics, keys (perfect condition ivory), body (virtually new looking black), classic turn-of-the-century carved legs etc. And this piano was over 100yrs old. It sounded and functioned as brand new. I over heard the potential buyer say, I'm buying it! He paid several thousand dollars more than we were asking as he knew there were some other interested parties. So it went to a good home played by professionals for commercial studio recordings (classical, jazz, instrumental, vocal etc.). You may wake up now, my story is over! Thanks if you stayed through this!

I enjoyed this tour and thanks to you and Steinway creating such vivid and personal impression. I also dream to play one of these Steinway pianos. They look like music cast into artistic shape. I hope this tradition of craftsmanship will prevail.

Pictures of an exhibition piano is exquisite the artist's dedication is amazin g

@@lr1594 ;) art often elicits strong reactions & feelings... which is why I like your comment! To me, that piano is like something from a dream, especially those legs! - unexpected and surreal (some might call it a nightmare... I'll smile and call it beautiful)

Ramon S I agree with you, but if I were there I would not be able to take my eyes off it.

Motto KittoKatto with the Baba-Yamaha legs I bet that piano will fly when played well!

Awesome footage, and your tone is exquisite.

That was beautiful! What an honor to see these beautiful works of art. Your playing and selection of songs was amazing.

Three years later. Thank you very much for this look into the “Vault” Tiffany. Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition is a favorite. Really do enjoy your Vlogs. Your openness and sincerity I find both refreshing and charming. All the best to you.

Tiffany: "Sorry I could only sight-read this piece"... Then proceeds to execute a note-perfect near-faultless rendition of the first movement of Pictures at an Exhibition off her iPad 😮😮😮 Me: Looking for Beethoven's Ode to Joy easy version in C major!! 😁😁😁

I work at a casino and they spend over a hundred times more on security than they would spend if they took a major loss every month.

I don't think so... There might be little chance of people stealing the pianos but there is a great chance of people trying to sneak in and accidentally (or not) breaking them.

ruchir rawat- Some ppl like to destroy things they will never be able to own. There are also some ppl who like to destroy ANYTHING that looks nice. Simply put, there are some not very nice ppl in the world.

I loved the bold and colorful tone of the pictures at an exhibition piano. It blew the others away

The paintings on that last piano are works of art in itself

Playing Liszt on the Lang Lang Black...I laughed, it was great.

I am in love with the Pictures at an Exhibition piano. I wish I could afford a 2M piano though. Nobody but me would be allowed to touch it, except other pianists of course. What a work of art!

_GOD bless Tiffany, and thank you for the tour!_ 😁

This is the best vlog you've ever made. Thank you so much Tiffany

Thank you for this Wonderful video! For future factory videos, I'd love to see some of the special woods in their various stages (anything along the journey from raw stock to the final finishing), as well as any video and/or commentary by the Artisans creating these beautiful Steinway pianos. Thank you for: (a) All your work creating & editing, (b) a sampling of each piano in the vault, (c) your thoughtfulness in music selections. Good Luck for upcoming concerts in Italy & Germany! Bon Voyage! :)

oooh! Just found a documentary called "Note By Note - The Making Of Steinway L1037" which follows the year-long, hand-crafted creation of a Steinway concert grand piano from forest floor to concert hall (watch for free at tubitv.com/movies/22260/note_by_note )

So mysterious and other-worldly.

I really love your videos!♥️ You are wonderful and I love watching your movies. I've started play piano 5 years ago. Now, I play Chopin, Bethoven and someone else. By watching your films, I learn a lot about classical music. I love it. You motivate me a lot. Don't give up what you do. Also I play too clarinet just three years. I watch yours films every day. Love you♥️😘

A tour of the vault !!! What a treat for us ! Thank you !

Hi Tiffany! I remember I went to Steinway Hall in Manhattan long time ago. The piano key action felt so comfortable, and I even like the richness of the sound projection.

Tiffany WOW ! You play beautifully ! Thank You for taking me a long vicariously thru your lens in to the Steinway vault .

Thank you Tiffany and thank you to your guest for this great experience!

E minor is yellow for me, that's because most of Muse's Origin of Symmetry album (yellow cover art) is written in key of E minor, and I played a lot of their music when I was starting my journey with music :D

Thank you so much for sharing this awesome experience. That last piano, WOW what a treasure.

Fascinating! Terrific video and lovely sensitive playing, too!
