     Hey TP
      There are so many. My personal piano is a 1950 MAson AA. The sound 
really floats out. Its warm and full. Sustain freaks like Masons or any thing that 
sings for that matter. My sis owns it's twin just one serial no. apart & hers 
is also amazing.
  Another is a Stwy German O that I played in the S.F. area. It was 
astoundingly incredible I thought it was bigger.
  Feeling warm & fuzzy now

Let's talk about pianos.
What if we do a little Dr. Phil type exercise to reawaken our tonal minds.  
For those of you who are European, Dr. Phil is just like Jerry Springer except 
the people seem much nicer and they come fully dressed.

Let's all think about the one piano that you have seen/heard/tuned that 
really knocked your socks off.  The one piano that you wanted to implant the sound 
in your head.  The one that you hoped the little old lady who owned it would 
leave it to you because you were the only one who really appreciated how truly 
amazing it was.  

Mine was a very old 7ft Ibach, that lived in a dark apartment on the upper 
west side of New York.  It had an elegant case, beautiful rosewood with finely 
turned legs and handsome brasses.  It wasn't old enough to have a Vienna action 
but old enough to pre date WWII.  
The length of decay was just astounding. It had a round, beautiful tone that 
was just there with no sound of the hammer impact.  In the smallish room it 
seemed overpowering but had a sweetness to the sound that I had never 
experienced before.  Maybe the fact that it was so different from the powerful piano 
sound that I had been accustomed to had something to do with it.  Maybe it was 
the unexpected surprise of finding such a glorious piano hidden away that made 
it seem so fantastic. After tuning it I just had to play a bit, embarrassed 
that the owner was probably an accomplished pianist.  I played a little Mozart. 
Just enough to know that it would be the best I would ever sound on a piano. 
Your turn. TP
