A brand new Steinway from VSL: 1887 model D concert grand

Pete14 I say otherwise!!! I love the acoustic, and I love the digital as well. But they are not exclusive to one another as you point out. And, I might add, since you don't even play the piano, you won't understand why we love both. To you, the acoustic is something worthy to be thrown in the trash. I say, not so fast! But since you don't understand it, there's no use shouting to the voide.

Interesting, how y’all love the acoustic so much, yet rarely do I hear of it ‘round here; what gives, I ask? đŸ€”

Jay Lane I never see eye-to-eye with Pete14. He's a weirdo who doesn't play the piano, so his opinions are coming from a non-musician's perspective. However, his words are very provoking, to say the least.

Why are you being so rude, Dr. Lai?


Jay Lane

Well I love each and everyone of you 😊

You don’t see Ferraris that often either but aren’t they the most desirable cars? 🙂

No.

Acoustic pianos are difficult to record (properly): you need good and well acoustically treated room (studio), great mics, mix of recorded signals (phase correlation especially, EQ tweaking, recording device as audio interface and recorder, typically laptop with such audio software). Not many piano players have such setups.
Hence, most of them dream about it. Others have it (in house, at the school music hall) but the hassle of recording is too much. Other recordings using a mobile phone or with just a single mic are garbage at best.

Therefore most use already recorded samples but:

@Florian75:

However, when I press heavily the keys, I get quite a metallic sound. Particularly true for the D5 note. When I play piano, this unpleasant tone disappear. It a bit like a very light coin was lying on the string.

Indeed my rant in other related topics.

@jenpal:

I also notice the metallic coin-like sound on the D5 note.

Another, so we are three so far. Anyone else?

Pete14 We don’t need that mammoth thing called “the acoustic,” and I challenge anyone who says otherwise!

All we need is roof, food, warm clothes (mammoths provided a lot of food and warm clothes BTW), and firewood. Everything else is civilization quirks, and I challenge anyone who says otherwise!

No, but yes! (As we say in Bulgaria)

Automotive desirability is measured across four distinct statistical methodologies: realized collector transaction values tracked by analytics firms like Hagerty, brand strength rankings such as Brand Finance’s Brand Strength Index (BSI), owner satisfaction studies like J.D. Power’s APEAL study, and market supply-to-demand ratios indicated by multi-year order waitlists. Statistically, Ferrari consistently dominates luxury automotive desirability: it holds over 60% of the top 100 most expensive public auction sales in history—highlighted by a 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO fetching $51.7 million at auction (and upwards of $70 million in private sales)—and maintains a AAA+ brand strength rating alongside 2- to 3-year factory waitlists for new allocations, sitting second only in single-car sale records to the $142 million 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR Uhlenhaut Coupe.
