Although I'm not sure about a 1928 model, Vose was
once one of the finest "Boston" pianos made.
And the Boston school of pianoforte manufacture
was always considered a little more "refined and
elegant"", less brash, as I understand it. The reason
Steinway chose "Boston", as oppopsed to "Nyawwk" for
their alternate line, I guess.
