    My first job outta high school 15 years ago was moving pianos. Just like those guys at the end. I wanna say, Steinway's were always my favorite to move. They were beautiful pianos, but from a mover's standpoint they were well built and easily disassembled. Some cheap pianos had weird locking mechanisms for the legs with a piece of wood to wedge them in place. Those would wear out a lot and the leg would become loose making it somewhat dangerous when lowering the piano. Steinway's always had bolts for the legs, 2 large bolts to be exact and they never had that problem, even for obviously old Stenway's that show their age.

    Correct. I think this is also a Steinway patent. Other grands have large screws to fix the legs, or in the case of old models, the top of the leg is itself an enormous wooden screw. In the first case the screwholes get dilated by time and wear or the screws get lost, second case is even worse when the wooden screw gets damaged: impossible to fix this in a satisfying way.

    As a guitarist, I understand how little subtleties make all the difference. When most people don't hear a difference, a musician will hear and feel very subtle differences. Some are major, the other are minor. Some instruments are better in one way, and another better in another way. Finding the one that has the best of everything you want is the key. Hope you enjoy it :)

    Well, in a way. but Steinway are ensuring that this way they have most professional pianists signed up (formally or not) to them. This means we don't get to hear great piano players on a modern Bluthner, a Bechstein, Bosendorfer, Fazioli etc. I think it's a great shame that we don't get more variety. Steinways are wonderful of course but even so ....

    Carlton Cotter They are a very expensive product and one is buying a beautiful musical instrument. The Steinway B that I bought 20 years ago is now about four times more expensive if you buy it new. In order to really assess the investment value you only need to look on eBay and see Steinway B pianos for five and $6000. So obviously that end of their marketing is far from something you can hang your hat on. An instrument sold second hand is only as good as what someone is willing to pay for it and not what Steinway says the appreciated value is. Having said that, I wouldn’t trade mine for the world and I hope it will pass to my son after I’m gone. The piano is no longer a central part of the American home and we all just have to suck it up and except that. The decrease in values of all pianos is a testimony to this sad fact. Stay healthy!

    @@jeffaldridge4051 Yes, I know. I dreamed of owning a Steinway since I was a kid wandering around the old Steinway building on 57th Street on the weekends. Circa 2000 I finally bought one and considered it my single most prized possession. I justified the purchase after listening to Steinway's thoroughly rehearsed trade-in vs. a new one pitch, and the notion that the MSRP of their pianos has gone up like the S&P 500 since the great depression. But just to be extra safe, I bought a perfectly restored M for about half of the $65 K Steinway was asking at the time. Well a perfectly lovely piano yes, but it promptly depreciated like a stone when only a few years later when I decided to move. You say "that end of their marketing" ? Perhaps by NYC standards but within the context of a civilized transaction, I would say it's more like lying and misrepresentation. Porsche doesn't point to the value of a 1972 911 RS before selling you an off lease Cayenne and then after it promptly loses 80% of its value tell you that the world has moved to electric cars and we all just have to "suck it up". Again, a perfectly good piano, but c'mon?! They have a lot reforms to make in their leadership and integrity which I hope they do because they are lucky to have fans like Ms. Poon stand behind their product, as I also said.

    I learned my first pieces on a 130 year old full size grand Steinway. It was some kind of rare patent. It had a solid metal cast iron sound board or something. Someone had stolen the action in 1948 and the replacement action was cheap and brutal to play. Fast forward twenty years, walked into the London Steinway showroom and played a new instrument. It felt like how I imagine it feels getting into a Ferrari for the first time. It was a dream. Now 15 more years and the Spirio R arrives. If I had a Steinway, I’d surely never leave my apartment. Absolute goals. Nothing compares. I love this collaboration with Steinway and Tiffany. Thank you for making it.

    I understand the difficulty. I've just been through the same thing - sort of. I'm not really a pianist, I'm a violinist who can play the piano. I recently donated a 6' 1" piano of another leading brand to my church in memory of my late wife who passed 18 month ago. It's not a Steinway - that is out of my ball park financially.. But we do have a local rebuilder here in Metro Washington, DC who practically zero-hours used grands. I went with the organist/choir director of the church. Actually both of our heads were spinning after this drill. We had a room with about 30 grands to choose from almost all within my financial parameters. Our choice has now been delivered. We are now planning a non-worship concert series around this piano. While I do play myself at services and my string quartet (I usually play viola there) and other friends do play at worship from time to time. I'm also putting the touch on my conductors to help find suitable players for non-worship programs..

I dont play a instrument i'm a audio engineer and true audiophile (design, setup and calibrate some the worlds best music systems) and from the video ( which I would be curious how you recorded it and mic ) but I also narrowed it down to the same three pianos and also my favorite before you chose which also was the one I liked the most. You play beautifully and congratulations.

    Hi Tiffany, in one of your last videos - or was it on instagram? 🤔😄 - you asked us, what what we as your audience like about Debussy because you were getting so many requests to play his pieces :-) I thought about to give you a quiet long answer - which I will haha - because for many years Debussy meant everything to me. Well, over the last month I rediscovered my love for baroque (Bach, Scarlatti, Händel, Vivaldi) and classic (Haydn, Beethoven). For me this more original music is fascinating due to its purity and audibility of every single note, if you will. Every single note is significant for the melody of the piece. I like that veeeeeery much! Nevertheless I adore Debussy, who worked in his compositions like a painter. His, like I call it, mixed colors and blended melodies created a completely new and avant-garde world of sounds and harmonics with international influences. This shows his innovativity and his freethinking spirit. And many famous modern compositions like the Scores of Disney, Star Wars, Lord Of The Rings rely a lot on the harmonics of Debussy. Another beautiful example are the compositions of Nobuo Uematsu (Final Fantasy X - for example his piano collections). He made it to transfer the classical music to the modern music. You can like it or dislike it. But it definitely is remarkable. I love his orchestral work - especially Prélude à l'après-midi d'un faune! A piece, where you can almost hear sequences of the different movie scores that I mentioned earlier. About his work on the piano: kzread.info/dash/bejne/oY2WycOJfs2tY84.html What Mitsuko Uchida - a pianist that I admire as much as I admire you :-) - says in the linked video, contains many aspects of my fascination for Debussy’s compositions. But I have to add, that she specifically refers to the old and intellectual Debussy here. His etudes are hyper-intellectual feasibility studies for what you are able to play on the piano - like gothic architecture. How high can you fly? But of course there also was a young Debussy, too. He composed as emotionally and passionately as for example Schubert did, who unfortunately died too young… The compositions from Debussy which are touching me most, are from his younger period - Nocturne, Ballade Slave, Rêverie, Suite Bergamasque (I am soooo happy, that you are playing this :-) ), Arabesque, Valse Romantique and so on. And I personally think that these pieces can be interpetaded best on pianos by Steinway & Sons. Steinway is the manufacurer, who can reproduce these mixed colors and blended melodies in a unique way! On a Steinway chords melt to one wonderful, living creature. For my hearing on pianos of Bösendorfer and Fazioli the single notes stay seperated from each other. This could probably be more interesting for classical and baroque music but even here Steinway is the measure of all things for me. … Well, in baroque I maybe prefer a harpsichord for the most authentic interpretation. But there are definitely some pieces, that have an own wonderful character played on the piano like Scarlatti sonatas or the magnificent harpsichord/piano concertos by Bach. By the way, do you know the concerto for four harpsichords by Bach? The first movement of this HILARIOUSLY FANTASTIC composition makes me cry every time since I was a child haha. I will give you a link here, too: kzread.info/dash/bejne/f6RrqJayZ6m9fNY.html Well, I'm digressing haha… In any case, I hopefully answered your question, what I love about Debussy :-) Best regards und herzliche Grüße aus Hamburg, Germany Mario

I have a similar background as you also coming from Hong Kong, although I don’t play the piano anymore and am now a professional badminton player in the states. Really admiring what you’re doing! Keep it up! Btw your video on how to get over your anxiety during competitions is really applicable to all sorts of life, especially sports! 👍 it really helped me out, thanks!
