Dear list, About 3 weeks ago I posted a roadtest tuning of the Boston studio upright. I thought that I would get a lot of response from my remarks but only one surfaced, (from a Steinway Concert Technician) in New York who only tunes B's and D's. I was chided somewhat but since I stated my opinions were based on this particular piano it subsided after he stated that he has never tuned a Boston piano of any configuration. Anyway, a week ago yesterday I revisited the Boston for its 2nd tuning (It was -31c the first time). The pitch was just about where it was supposed to be and the tuning in its classroom setting now was uneventful. In the course of the tuning one of the piano instructors came in and we talked way to long about pianos and he asked me what I thought about the little Boston. I told him what I thought and here is a master piano teacher who thought the little piano was more than adequate and certainly superior to the P-22 it replaced. I don't understand sometimes how reasonable people can have totally opposite views on the same thing. I guess the moral of the story is if they don't ask, don't tell. Feeling fearless now I am going to publish another roadtest of another new model I have come across yesterday.
