Acrosonic -- King of the Spinets

[Annie Grieshop]

But I'd swear I've worked on a number of Acrosonics that weren't spinets.
Last week, for example:  an Acrosonic console built in the late '80s.  I've
worked on several that were quite a bit older (and I'm sure of that because
they hadn't been tuned in decades by the time I saw them).  Am I still in
the wrong era (universe?) or are Iowegian pianos weird?

  Hey Now,

  Thanks for that response Terry. I was thinking the same thing.  Are they
talking about the same piano? I always thought Acrosonics were spinets. I've
never personally seen an Acrosonic that was an upright. Now maybe one could
argue that the Acrosonic was among the best spinets and I would not want to
post a rebuttal. But to say they blow away most grands. I have not wanted to
post a comment about this as I have started spinet controversy in the past.
In this case the right coast and the left coast are on the same page.

      Yes, I agree that some Acrosonics sound better (or less bad) than many
pianos out there - no doubt - well built little pianoids. But you imply that
it sounds better than most grand pianos. Your signature indicates you are
located in New York City. If you were in Alabama (no offense intended - hey,
I'm in Florida) or some state that has few high-performance pianos, I might
bite. But aren't there some nice pianos in NYC? I mean even with all the
shortcomings I could point out about a decent Yamaha C3, good golly, the
Yamy would blow the lid off (and disintegrate it) that Acrosonic.

      What planet RU from?
