Frequently Asked Questions
The Seiler has a warmer, more mellow tone than the brighter, more percussive Steinway; it's a matter of preference.
Renner actions are widely respected and serviceable; parts are available, though potentially more expensive than some other brands.
A room with moderate reverberation is best – too dry will diminish its resonance; too much and the sound will become muddy.
