Poor rendering makes a quick clean tuning a challenge. Wiry sound is unpleasant. Other than that, they do say Steinway on the fallboard. David Love www.davidlovepianos.com From: caut-bounces at ptg.org [mailto:caut-bounces at ptg.org] On Behalf Of Christopher Purdy Sent: Wednesday, December 03, 2008 6:53 AM To: caut at ptg.org Subject: [CAUT] Steinway 1098 I've been reading all the posts about CCM's decision to become an all Steinway school. We here at OU have also begun this process and eventually we will have to make some decisions on uprights. I'm curious about everyone's experiences with the 1098's. We all gripe about them but I am really interested to hear your individual, specific complaints about them. Especially as used in a college or university setting. Also, I'd like to hear from anyone that likes them and why. I would like to collect some solid opinions from as many people as possible to keep and be able to present to faculty and administration.
