Bush and Lane Grand

[Dean May]

Most of what you read about pianos is hype. But I've found Bush and Lane
pianos to be well above average.

Hi all,

I'm seeing good things on the internet about about Bush and Lane
instruments, such as "The Bush & Lane grand is unique for the volume and
purity of its tone and tile durable character of its construction. It is
doubtful whether the sympathetic tone possessed by the smallest of the Bush
& Lane Grands has been surpassed in any other grand of its size. The
wonderful power and charming sweetness of tone of the entire line of Bush &
Lane  grands has been enthusiastically acclaimed by all musicians who have
played them." from the Bluebook of Pianos, and on sellers claim that "Most
piano technicians perk up when you mention the name "Bush & Lane"!
Considered equal or superior to Steinway pianos from the same period, this
company has been somewhat forgotten except by those "in the know"". I'm
going to look at a 6' Bush and Lane shortly, is this sales pitch I cited in
the ballpark, or just hype?

Thanks,

Matt
