There are a lot, actually: ---an unrebuilt American O that's just like fairyland---what Boesendorfers try to be. ---a late '80's Hamburg C that I picked out in London and maintain here in CA. ---a mid-70's M&H CC2, which we've done a lot of action work on and which I maintain---it's got the biggest bass, the most massive fundamental, of any piano I've ever heard. ---a 1928 Steinert & Sons O copy that sits in my ex-wife's living room. ---a hybrid German-American Steinway D made in Hamburg in 1981. (American rim and board, German plate, strings, back action, and action) ---a 20-year-old Yamaha C3 that is freakishly, and I mean freakishly beautiful and resonant and singing. ---a 1922 long A we just rebuilt. ---a couple other mid-teen O's we've re-whatevered in the last 8 or so years. ---a 1928 unrestored B that used to be on the soundstage at Paramount, now owned by a struggling older musician. Unbelievable singing tone. ---a rare 1917 American C that we rebuilt 3 years ago. A true queen. Ask Dale Erwin about this one. Just a few that come to mind. I'm so grateful for the amazing pianos I work on..... David Andersen
