But, I've never played a Steinway S I could even stand (the Baby Grand
added to the line in the 1930's). I've played a couple of new-build
Hamburg B's delivered in the mid 1980's that were two of the best pianos
I've ever played. I played used but recent B on a dealer's floor here in
Albuquerque that felt like I was playing through glue. I suspect it needed
more of the infamous Steinway lacquer to suit me.

Have you ever played one of the Steinway uprights, the early ones? A
friend of the family owned one when I was a kid and it was a weird-sounding
thing. Very different than my piano teacher's Bechstein upright.
