Frequently Asked Questions
The Aliquot adds overtones that aren't produced by standard string vibration, creating a richer, more complex, and singing tone, particularly noticeable in the mid and upper registers.
While checked by a builder, a 1963 piano will likely need some regulation and potentially damper refurbishment within the next few years – a routine part of owning a vintage instrument.
The Blüthner offers a warmer, more romantic tone than the brighter, more direct sound of a Steinway. Compared to Yamaha, it possesses a greater complexity and depth of tone, lacking Yamaha's often more 'modern' clarity.
