Although I'm not sure about a 1928 model, Vose was once one of the finest "Boston" pianos made. And the Boston school of pianoforte manufacture was always considered a little more "refined and elegant"", less brash, as I understand it. The reason Steinway chose "Boston", as oppopsed to "Nyawwk" for their alternate line, I guess.
