COMMENTS:
The Feurichs all had a warm tone and I found it very difficult to discern between them. I will go back to play them again this week and try to update this text with any discernable differences. They all have a very responsive touch.
The Yamaha was a particularly pleasing mellow tone compares with many others. The touch needs a little refining still, which we will do before it's delivered.
The Steingraeber is a typically warm and deep-toned German upright, made by one of the world's top ten best factories.

Thank you so much for your encouragement. We hope to see you sometime soon. Marcus

[@Jose_Miguel_1971]

What a beatiful song you´ve played at the end.

[@CrownHymn]

Marcus, thank you for all your videos - they're brilliant. Once the piano fund is sufficient, I plan to come and see you at Roberts Pianos to find a 'forever' instrument. Those new Feurichs are lovely but so is some of your older stock. Stephen

[@dunnkruger8825]

More, Mr. Robert. More

[@GonzoTheRosarian]

Wish I was in Europe to see these European gems up close!

[@MostEasterlySteve]

Lovely version of The Lord is My Shepherd at the end. Very soothing! The Feurichs seem very consistent. I had a very slight preference for the tone of the last Feurich with brass fittings.

[@RobertsPianos]

Thank you for your encouragement! I'm not sure which is the better one yet, so will have to re-visit them all. Marcus

[@RModillo]

Goodness-- the Steingraeber is much more lyrical than the newer ones.

[@JoseVGavila]

Thanks Marcus, as always very interesting comparison. As I have said already on other comments, I own a 1976 U3H and am quite happy with it, being my first piano. I feel the same metalic sound the U1 in the video shows in some notes, I guess it is part of its usual tone. But, anyway, by now the player is lots worse than the instrument, so I should keep improving!

[@MadisonTen]

I thought the Feurich sounded fresh, clean, bright and new (imagine clean strings). The U1 by comparison sounded a touch nasal in the mid range but more mature and opened up/fuller which I suppose is down to its age and long since settled in.

Thanks for this comparison. Do you have any general opinion on the tonality of the Kawai K300 compared with the Feurich 122? Thank you.

[@RobertsPianos]

We will be getting a K300 in very soon, so we'll make a video of the comparison with the Feurichs

[@jamchiell]

Psalm 23 lovely!

[@RobertsPianos]

Thanks, God bless you! Marcus

[@gomanfong4077]

The Yamaha has a better sound out of all 3 in my opinion. It's matching closely to my C3. Still doesn't come near my steinway though.

[@GuernB2]

I think the 064 had the best overall tone

[@pigwashtroughology4235]

I know which one I'd take

[@RobertsPianos]

Which one! Marcus
