[CAUT] Snarly bass, was RE: Rubenstien Piano

[Calin Tantareanu]

Is this really so? Any sources for the claim?
Anyway, I tend to prefer pianos where you can hear the fundamental as far
away down the scale as possible. This usually gives them a much fuller
sound, but less snarly. They seems to be very rare though.
