Grands? Oh, yes. Uprights ... well, I've not been all that impressed with the few I've seen. Others may feel differently. I would definitely add another name though: Haines Brothers. I just restrung and partially rebuilt (rehabbed? restored?? fixed up??) a 1911 beauty! Alan R. Barnard Salem, MO Alan Steinway uprights are are different breed & some of the best made. Some of the 1890s Monsters actually had a laminated soundboard liner similar to the grands. It was neatly encased in the cabinet and sourounde the entire board. Huge cutoff bar. I like the feel of the action. Without the vertigree of course. I sold one for 10 K about 6 years ago. Black with beautiful case & cut out inset panels. The piano has no cracks and very nice crown. Not bad for an antique. Oh did I mention it sounds great. The haines bros was a good piano. Rebuilt some of those too.
