As a piano technician, a very common myth I run across that's very prevalent within the piano industry is that the 'perfect piano' that you're searching for (to buy, or to select for a performance, etc.) will still sound and feel the same in a few years time, and will never actually change...whereas the tone and touch of the piano that you thought would never change, actually does change, with time and through the normal use of your piano. What many piano owners do not actually know is that a qualified piano technician knows how to adjust the tone and touch of your piano, optimizing its performance, to the liking (alright..let's be honest, here, the demands) of the pianist. This is considered 'normal work' that piano technicians know how to do, very well, in fact, to the very millimeter.... that all pianists, never learn how to do, within the course of their career, by contrast. Source: 1,000s of pianos I have personally serviced, for all performance venues, within the music industry. Synopsis: Every single time a pianist presses a key on the piano, a change happens - within the piano's action of over 10,000 parts, whereas its tone, that comes from the hammers will change over time, whereas the action and weight of the keys will do the same (change in form/shape). ... As keys are pressed, felts and leather become compressed within the action and the hammers (the voice of the piano, itself), become more dense, and the tone becomes 'brighter' with use. Similarly, the action becomes more sluggish, and eventually needs to be regulated every 3-5 years, back to its factory specifications, due to the normal use and wear of the piano. More about piano regulation and voicing: www.total-piano-care.com/action-regulation.html Interesting article from the NY Times, last year (2020): www.nytimes.com/2020/11/12/arts/music/piano-tuning.html

Great explanation! Can't wait to find out what my Kawai CA79 sounds like in 10 years

[@smuggyduggy3170]

All I know is ..I was not impressed with my Boston ...to the point I sold it. Yamaha makes a much superior piano . Steinway is riding the back of Kawai merely for $ ....and it shows. Otherwise , Steinway would build these in their own factory .....also , notice Boston/Steinway turned "off" there comments section on there official site ? ...hmmm

[@RealTotalPianoCare]

@@smuggyduggy3170 May I ask what model/year of Boston you had owned?... Did you ever get it fully serviced - meaning it was fully regulated and voiced - by a concert piano technician?... Or, was it used previously from a private party?... Oftentimes, whenever a customer buys a new piano from a dealer, that dealer will not go the extra mile to prep the new pianos they carry. Pianos that arrive from the factory out of their crate are semi-prepped in many cases. Usually the dealer will reason (rationalize actually, 'rational - lies'), 'It doesn't make that big of a difference to the pianist, so why bother,' or ''It's the customer's responsibility - let them pay for it' ...all bad errors of judgement on their part. When a piano is presented and sold from the dealer showroom floor, it should always be prepped to its highest potential... for the customer to make the best choice for themselves, or their family, studio, institution, etc.

[@joegrant6277]

Are digital pianos a better choice today?

[@RealTotalPianoCare]

​@@joegrant6277 ​"Better" in what way, exactly?... An acoustic piano can never fully be duplicated by a digital piano, 100%. There are too many sound/harmonic variables involved with our human ear. And our brain is simply too smart to know the difference between a note coming from within the piano and going out of the piano, within a room (or out into nature), and a sound that's coming through a man-made speaker via an electrical amp. While hybrid pianos are up and coming, and are as close to the real thing as possible (real wooden keys, hammers & shanks, the feel of the action's geometry, better sound samples, etc.) they are still not a seasoned wood instrument. Digital pianos, however, never need to be tuned every few months - or need any maintenance for that matter, the more that you use it (like a piano), until the internal levers wear out. They're just not designed to be "maintained" per se. In this sense, they are 100% better (cheaper) to own. They're easily transportable. Space is rarely if ever an issue. And MIDI technology, especially when used through a VST (virtual studio technology) program is generally 1,000% customizable (e.g. depth, reverb, tuning, brilliance, etc.). With MIDI 2.0 on the horizon for pianos (its already here, but the hardware hasn't been built yet) the results will be multiple fold of these capabilities. ... At the end of the day, though, only a 7ft or 9ft acoustic piano will be able to give you the real acoustical feedback that can only come from real wool hammers colliding with steel and copper wound stings, at a 5:1 power ratio (piano's action + string height), powered by your forearms and finger tips, against a 'solid' wooden soundboard ... to delight your own ears. :)

[@pavlenikacevic4976]

When choosing a piano, its tone should be the last thing you worry about, as it can be regulated by the technician to your liking. What is much more important to consider are the dynamic range (how many levels of you can achieve between pp and ff), the sustain length (how long the note sounds after you press the key), as well as the volume output (how loud it can get)

[@dorisbrinkerhoff8124]

most people dont get it thay just bang away its a waste on these people.

I only played a Boston once in my life, at Warsaw's Chopin airport, and it's one of my favorite pianos I've ever played! The sound was so powerful and the weight of the keys felt just right, wonderful instrument. Congrats on becoming an Ambassador!

Had a gp156 for 5 yrs., Outgrew it. just upgraded to GP 193. It was on consignment,used, 10 years young, I absolutely love it. I had a piano tuner voice it and fixed a few knocks, tuned it. The voicing took away the brightness and harsh ness. Now it is rich, smooth. Having a little difficulty with the power of the sustain, I never had to feather the sustain before now I'm finding that I have to change my playing style. Been playing for 50 years not consistently but recently, since retirement I'm studying at Oberlin college community School at the conservatory. Just loving my studies in my late '60s. I'm having to unlearn bad habits,things were taught incorrectly 60 years ago, I'm a classical wannabe, but it's been fun. The Boston put so much joy into my life. It's an understatement to say that it's my best friend. It's my sanity!!!🤣. Love your videos!! So encouraging. Welcome to the Boston family. Thank you from Ohio USA

YES! I know of Boston Pianos. My brother had a Yamaha upright (a large one) and after a couple of years, was very tired of it for many reasons. I suggested he check out a similarly sized Boston. He did and two days later it arrived. Now, 8 years later, it has a wonderful sound and a very comfortable, consistent touch as the regulation and voicing has remained quite stable. Very nice piano.

[@Dannerooo]

I’ve been renting and playing on a Boston GP 156 for the past year and a bit. I love it - the sound is so good, and I really really love the action. I’ve always thought I wanted a Steinway or Fazioli or something - and I still do - but I’ve really fallen in love with this instrument; I’m tempted to purchase it even though money is still an issue lol. It’s such a joy to play.

I was with a friend who was a organizer of an event where they had a proper grand piano. Now I was - and still am - just a scrub who tinkers with the piano as a hobby, and when he pointed to it and told me it costs as much as a small apartment, I just couldn't understand why. "Absolute madness", I said. Then he asked if I wanted to try it. I did. And I kinda get now. The tactile feel of playing that thing was just incredible.

We bought a baby grand Boston by Steinway and I fell instantly in love with it at the store. We have been very happy with it! The tone had a lot more depth than Yamaha for me and we couldn’t afford a Steinway lol so this was perfect.

[@jrfromtexas3738]

I'm glad to hear Boston/Steinway is supporting you. My wife and I purchased model GP-178 PE-II right from Steinway Hall - Dallas like 8 months ago and we are very pleased with it. Boston is a happy medium: you can practice Mozart, Disney Ballads, Blues, Rag Times, Montunos, ... you name it. It is very well regulated out of Kawai in Japan. Your technician of course will need to voice it a little; but overall, you get a well balanced "swiss army knife" that will let you practice virtually anything at home.

[@patrickytting]

I bought a Boston GP-178 in 1997 and still have it. My piano tuner remarks that it sounds really great, he thinks the wood is maturing particularly well contributing to the tone. I picked mine from 11 identical new instruments that were lined up at the Royal Danish Conservatoire as they had all been used in an 11 piano ensemble for a concert and I liked this one the best. I believe getting a good concert technician to voice the hammers of the instrument for the room it is placed in and to make sure the regulation of the action is good can be worthwhile. Also once annually, servicing of the action to ensure things are in order, that the keys stay frictionless i.e. lubricating the balance and front rail pins has been suggested as a prudent habit in addition to usual tunings (lubricating the action pins I do myself as I have 4 pianos in the house and so to have a tech do that would get expensive and time consuming if I don't do such simpler maintenance on my own, plus learning about that area of the instrument has been a pleasure and feels good not to be ignorrant about the instrument one plays, i.e.just a silly pianist. Thus there's more time for them to devote to proper regulation and voicing instead but nevertheless with time the pins oxidise, the felt gets blackened and will have friction when pressing the keys down. This is something that applies to all pianos). When I did my performance masters the hall piano was a boston 215, decent instrument also, and many practice rooms were equipped with Bostons. In the end a piano is a unique organic construction and the care and setup it gets from a technician contributes to it's state of repair and setup. Enjoy your lovely new piano!

[@AZmom60]

This is so fun to watch. When I was looking for my first grand piano a couple years ago (at age 56), I did go to the Steinway Store and tried out some Bostons. They were lovely, but out of my price range. They had a used one that sound beautiful, but unfortunately it had significant damage on the case. I ended up buying a beautiful Kawaii.

[@carlovillegas]

I’m a producer and audio engineer and I’ve finally had the chance to experience a Boston piano at a recording studio i freelance out of. I can’t remember what the model was but is a Boston Baby Grand. And I gotta say, it’s a great sounding instrument. I’ve worked on so many Yamaha pianos and in my experience and music style, I can say that the Yamaha is “modern-sounding” to me. The transients were really out there which made it great for pop music and some cinematic/epic scores. However, working on that Boston Baby Grand, I felt like it never disappointed me with how it sounds in all genres, from folk, jazz, pop, cinematic, etc. They all sounded great and it sat nice in the mix. Not over-powering any other instruments/vocals, but is still there to support the emotional drive of the song. I’ve re-tracked a piano arrangement from a previous score I did on a Yamaha and I wish I’ve experienced a Boston sooner.

[@pianonight]

I played the Bostons alongside the Steinways and while the Bostons were very good. the Steinways made my heart melt. But the Steinways were out of my price range. Eventually I found a Steinway Model B that sat in a church hardly played for 20 years, it is now in my home for last 10 years. Best instrument I ever played on, powerful, expressive, can make any kid of sound from thunder to clouds and water and everything in between. It can sound smoky for jazz, bright or dark, happy or profound depending on how you play it. We are mated for life.

Congratulations on your new piano and on becoming a Boston Ambassador! Looking forward to hearing more of your journey with your new friend! I went through the piano selection process last year, with multiple visits to the showroom. I had three hard requirements: ability to practice with headphones, limited space (and budget!), and the best acoustic keyboard I could get. I settled on a hybrid piano, Yamaha AvantGrand N3X, with grand piano keyboard and action (probably very similar to your old C2), superb samples from Yamaha CFX, Bosendorfer Imperial, and harpsichord, and sound system that nearly reproduces the experience of a grand. Very happy with it, but we're still getting to know each other. I've played Steinways a few times, and I'm sure the Boston piano will be a good one! Have fun!

I have tried four new Boston pianos (PE II) on 2 different occasions and really loved them. I actually liked them more than many Steinway's in the showrooms at the time. I own a Kawai RX (and a Schimmel), and did like the Boston pianos I tried more than my Kawai. I definitely would recommend Boston over Kawai if the price point is the same (it's just a personal preference based on my own experiences, not necessarily one is better than the other). The only issue I had was when I walked into a Steinway dealer, the attitude was "If you can walk into a Steinway dealer, you can pay full price.", and I could get great discount on Kawai pianos. I have also tried a couple of used Boston's (pre PE II), and didn't like them because the sound was too bright (to the point of sounding nasal), perhaps because the previous owners were piano majors, it felt like the pianos were used at least 2 hours or 4 or more a days for the last 10 years.

I never played a piano but from an outsiders perspective I would think there are so many variables involved that can effect the sound of each individual piano. The pads on the hammer can wear out, the wood itself can get dry out, the strings (wire) can be stretched. The room itself, the walls, the furniture, the floor, the height of the ceiling, space around the piano, the humidity and how many people are in the room which can absorb sound.. For those that are very particular and sensitive all should be considered.

Nice! Here in Brazil we have a piano by Boston at the auditorium of our Music Department (State University Of Santa Catarina) in addition to a Steinway one. I feel that the Boston piano has a very "delicate warm sound", good to play Debussy, Ravel etc

I haven't seen the 215. But I love the 193. As a technician, I have several clients who own them. I remember a similar noise problem with a Boston locking mechanism. There is a keeper foot at the bottom of the fall board locking rod. The screw that holds the foot on was loose. It took me 2 or 3 visits to find it, which annoyed the piano teacher and caused her to change to a different tuner. If not that it would have been some other thing.

I love the opus 10 no 3 u played. I think that is the best melody I ever wrote

I really enjoy this channel! As an, hopefully😅, up and coming pianist, your tips have helped me a ton! I cant express my gratitude enough. Thank you!:)

Congratulations on your new instrument. It's beautiful as are you.

[@DavidBrant]

Amazing, sounds really nice. I have heard of Boston pianos but never played on one. Looks very snazzy, with the big bold golden logo on the side. Enjoy your new partnership!

Congratulations! My Hometown:-) You playing a very good Instrument now!

[@cookie4u2]

Love this! Thank you! When you say ‘It doesn’t fit my playing’ I would love to know well firstly how to know what your playing is and secondly to know it doesn’t fit? I am not familiar with the Boston, would love to get your advice on how to choose a piano from all the different brands?

I did try a few bostons, steinways, yamaha, but ultimately went with a Kawai 6 footer.

Congratulations Annique! Lovely new grand piano :')

You play so gracefully. Beautiful hands. Our church just got a Boston Grand. I LOVE it!

[@joshmcdonald3427]

I actually use a Yamaha but I have been in contact with multiple brands and they’re all amazing. But as you say, the piano has to fit your personality, especially when you’re spending so much on it. I love your music, I am a classical piano fan myself and it is really good to see all your pieces being played in an hour and eleven minutes in total.

Wow, nice video for Boston PE grands. We have checked the Steinway's and Boston's at the local dealer here. But we ended up with a SCHIMMEL C208, about 10 years old in perfect condition. My young son plays. He did really like the Boston Grands he played but while much cheaper than the Steinway, they were still more than I wanted to pay at this time. Maybe next will be a Boston PE Grand?

Yes, Fresno City College had all Boston uprights and a new Boston grand. Great pianos. Enjoy. Great practice piano. We were spoiled. The teacher had two Steinways he taught on. And the master classes were done on a pair of Steinways too. It was nice to play on the Boston grand. I myself prefer a Bosendorfer Imperial. :)

[@giovanniscancariello7874]

auf jedem Fall die Beste Entscheidung. Boston macht super Flügel keine Frage. Viel Spaß! 😎

While I haven't played one, I have heard of Boston pianos! One of my favorite video game music artists, Rob Kovacs aka 88bit, plays on one, and he absolutely loves it. Everyone thinks it sounds fabulous!
