Filed under: baby grand pianos
This is a demo of my 1998 Steinway & Sons Model B Music Room Grand piano. This was, admittedly, a blatant sales pitch as the piano was posted on eBay at the time. The piano sold in part thanks to this video. It was a very nice B!

A beautiful instument indeed. I’m envious.
But if it takes 6 months to voice & regulate a Steinway it’s little wonder we mere mortals buy digitals.

@64miguel I’m pretty sure Beethoven prefered Broadwoods so yet again kirbyheritage2 seems to be a bit of a windbag.
@64miguel I would …
@64miguel I would ignore kirbyheritage2 and anyone else who bombasitcally touts the advantages of certain pianos. There are many many good pianos out there and frankly what sets a good piano apart from a great one isn’t so much who made it but who works on it and what they did to it. VERY few (including extreamly expensive) pianos come from the factory sounding or playing their best. Frankly who cares what is the best – if you can afford it and you like it so be it – forget the fallboard.
As you can probably …
As you can probably guess, I about died when I saw that erard for sale right here in itty bitty nebraska. It was in fantastic original condition. $1,000! I was in heaven, the guy sadly backed out right as I brought up the cash.
Good to hear! The piano is a fantastic instrument, and really fun.
You sure can add me as a friend.
@kirbyheritage2 Now …
@kirbyheritage2 Now a 1855 Erard gotta be a jewel piece!!!:) u see i am getting serious soon with learning to play and that stuff maybe within 6 months I am hitting the classroom ( I really hope less than 6, 4 mnths sounds good from my schedule right now) but can i add u as a friend, more piano friends the better!
Hey 64miguel. I …
Hey 64miguel. I have never played a Fazioli, so I cant put my input on them. I have heard good things on them however.
Erards are straight strung pianos. (the copper strings dont overlap the wire ones) So it achieves an even tone. Erards are known for being mellow, so a 9 foot erard would probably produce as much sound a as a 7′3″ or so steinway or similar. But still retains a beautiful tone. I nearly bought a 6′ 1855 erard. But the guy backed out.
@kirbyheritage2 …
@kirbyheritage2 sounds to me that u are a piano afficionado:) i have seen reports that Fazioli is also being acclaimed by present day pianists worldwide and say this is also a bulldog in the best quality pianos in the world, are u familiar with the Fazioli pianos as well? I never heard a Erard in person before but i believe that it is a mixture of well balanced and proportioned tunes from the base and up
Erard was one of …
Erard was one of the first piano companies ever. They made extremely elegant and overall very well built pianos. They were the choice of Chopin, Beethoven, Hayden, Liszt, and many others. Chopin actually wrote music for the erard piano, because of its tone quality, and it doesnt seem to sound as good as it does on an authentic early Erard.
Well steinways are …
Well steinways are excellent pianos for sure. The older the better in my opinion.
But they are not the best. Steinway and sons is all in the name. They have been producing pianos for a very long time, and has gained world wide popularity.
There are companys who make/made better pianos than steinway has in my opinion. Bösendorfer makes some of the finest pianos in the world. Also the 1850s era of Erard were considered the worlds best pianos in history.
@kirbyheritage2 why …
@kirbyheritage2 why would u say that steinways are not the best? I am no expert and I am just planning to learn the piano but from what many says steinway is the absolute in all pianos but is your conclusion based on your own personal preference? if it is can u tell me about your preferences and how they relate to the pianos u mentioned….
I see you are very …
I see you are very fond of the baroque period music! Organ would also be a great instrument for you.
Yamaha is jap crap …
Yamaha is jap crap and is not nearly as good as Bechstein, Bösendorfer or steinway. Petrof is a joke and their pianos are just horrid. Steinway I dont find to be the very best, Erard is my absolute favorite (pre 1900) Then Bosendorfer, then steinway.

@az101010 So are you just saying you want to go in there with me and rub it out for me. Cuz if so I am cool with that it makes you gay for doing it not me for getting it so if you want to just give me your address and we can get this show on the road.

pm- a homo is a homo- i don’t work against them- i just don’t like them trying to make homos of people who are not homos.. i think if they can’t behave themselves they should stay in the closet..

@az101010 So if I send you a video of me pasting some ladys face witch i do often would that stop making me a homo ?

that piano is worth its weight in gold to someone who loves playing the piano..
and if you look hard enough it’s possible to find a piano that good..

pm- you said: ” homo ish looks”.. that’s how you know if you are really a homo yourself- if you see homo in another guy’s face.. but there is absolutely nothing about this guy that identifies him as a homo.. you are highly most likely a homo and you don’t know it..
