Dear List, An interesting side note to my original question. I tune for a local college which has a Steinway concert side by side with a Boesendorfer on stage which are used often for various functions. Interestingly enough, the Boesendorfer is much brighter and projects more than the Steinway. Typically the jazz groups pick the B. over the S&S, while the classical players prefer the S&S. We can't forget the effects of voicing and regulation on the overall equation. The Steinway is around 15 years older than the B. I'm a newcomer to the list and it's a joy to have access to the best minds in our industry. Many thanks, BobSadowski RPT Erie,PA.
