Alex Galembo did an experiment many years ago in the Soviet Union. Concert artists were convinced they could recognize the sound of the Steinway piano, and that it was the superior piano. When they were not able to see the pianos, their accuracy dropped to random chance. es ----- Original Message ----- From: "Wolfley, Eric (wolfleel)" <WOLFLEEL at UCMAIL.UC.EDU> To: "'Ed Sutton'" <ed440 at mindspring.com>; <caut at ptg.org> Sent: Friday, November 21, 2008 1:40 PM Subject: RE: [CAUT] CCM goes "All Steinway" Do you really think they prefer the Steinways just because of the name?

ES Eric wrote: The few Steinways we had were just being pounded into dust while the others were used only if there are no Steinways available. I don't think this would change if we put some new Yamahas, Kawais, Sauters, Schimmels or anything else in there. The people have spoken! They want Steinways because they like the sound and touch better. Who am I to force diversity upon our faculty and students?
