This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Hi List We recently had a subject Piano Choice Thoughts please.=20 Different pianos were discussed, different tones, some suitable for pre = Beethoven music, some all round and so on. I also am in a funny position where I should be giving advise but have = to be careful (ha ha) of how many toes I tread on. Thus, before I put foot in mouth, I have decided to get some facts = instead of relying on faulty memory. Bosendorfer hammer's strike on 1/7 of the string length and Steinway's = hammers strike on 1/8 of the string length. True or false. Because the Bose strike point is 1/7th, this makes the tone more = suitable to playing with a string ensemble and in small halls and if = played with an orchestra, because the 7th partial is missing and the 8th = more prominent the Bose looses power. This is the story I read ? somewhere to explain why Steinways are played = with orchestras and Bosendorfers are not. I understand that most pianists prefer a Bose as a piano to play as a = piano but when an Orchestra is involved, they often switch to other = brands. Comments please.
