Euro- sustain (the new Steingraeber 275!)

[Richard Adkins]

They have a website in German. There is a picture of the
newish 275 concert grand. I was told a few years ago the
largest piano they made was the 205. Anyhow the 275 exhibits
a very wide tail/and the board looks very wide, too...not
much crook there. Maybe they've been looking at old Chickerings
at the Liszt museum? The 205 does not particularly look wide
to me from the pics at the site.

Mark,
 I had a chance to visit the Steingraeber & Sohns booth
at the Kansas City Convention a few years ago. The pianos
were sleek, and had very clear tone. They played very
well, too. But what pianos do not play well at one
of our PTG conventions? 

 I did not notice the sound board area,  but did
have a good look at the hammers, which were closer to looking
like a triangle than Steinway's "gothic" shape.
I'm not sure this has anything to do with the sustain, though. 
I've been inclined to try shaping some hammers that radically
to find out! 

I appreciated their case designs. For a small shop they do
wonderfully meticulous work.

Richard

Steingraber are one of the finest makes present in Europe.

Very seriously build a neat tone, very enjoyable instruments always,
for the few I've tuned actually.
