He'd probably beat me if I posted it  <BR>for people to listen to, but I could post a short clip for anyone  <BR>thinking a Bosendorfer is light on power and it may encourage them to  <BR>re-think. It was just a casual recording from a reasonable distance  <BR>(good equipment though), but there is no doubt that it has some "guts".<BR><BR>- John<BR><BR><BR>> btw.. I service a brand new 225 Bosie.  There is no way I could  <BR>> think of this thing as lacking any power. Ok... its in a smaller  <BR>> room, but then I've been at pianos for long enough to hear through  <BR>> and make a good judgement as to how the thing would do in a concert  <BR>> hall.  It do just as well as any C I've ever heard me thinks.<BR>><BR>> Cheers<BR>> RicB</FONT></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV> <DIV></DIV></BODY></HTML>
