Frequently Asked Questions
The refurbishment by a Steinway specialist addresses this, but older instruments can still require more frequent tuning than newer models.
The 1920 model possesses a warmer, more complex tone, less overtly bright, with a richer harmonic content—a characteristic of pianos from that era.
Early A-195s sometimes exhibit slight differences in hammer voicing; the specialist's work will have addressed this, but individual nuances remain.
