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

@@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.

Are digital pianos a better choice today?
@RealTotalPianoCare3 жыл бұрын
@@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. :)

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)

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

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!

Both are designed by Steinway (and say so on the pianos).

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.

Hi. I have played a Boston piano when I was 9 years old. Maybe from beginning of 90s. My aunt took care of a old woman. Her husband was musician. Then time passed, she died, my aunt was fired, and I never heard from that piano again.

I love Boston pianos. Worked on a couple in the shop I worked in briefly and was always impressed.

I own a Boston UP-118S.. It has so much sentimental value that I will never change it

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.

Ich spiele das Klavier und lerne Deutsch im Universität. Du spielst sehr schön, ich bin so eifersüchtig. Ich lerne jetzt Nocturne No.1 von Chopin. Danke!

Awe, so precious and I had a good time watching you. Like a kid in a candy store. Plenty of choices. Your playing is so lovely, kind of takes one into another dimension. *I also keep forgetting in Germany that German is your native tongue. Thanks for the take-along. Dan

I play my 1934 Steinway M which currently is being restrung and refurbished with a Steinway tech. As a snob I say, "There are Steinways and then there are piano-like instruments." (Boston pianos excepted!) Congratulations!

Fascinating! I have never heard of this brand. I love reading the comments by skilled piano tuners--it's a whole other world! Would love to have seen the video of the delivery. Wouldnt the change in environment alter the sound?

I just purchased a Boston upright for $400!!! I’m so stoked. It was a surgeon who’s kids never played it and they recently moved out so he sold it cheep since he’s relocating to a smaller house. I was shocked to hear they’re manufactured at the Kawai factory in Japan. I’ve always though Kawai’s were good pianos :) now I know why they sound closer to Steinway than Yamaha lol

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

No I have not played a Boston Before. But that’s not saying much I only played piano for a year. So far I think I’m going to stick with for ever I love playing . I’m not sure why it’s just my thing. I have gone to a piano shop to look at some pianos and the guy there was super nice and he let me play the $180,000 piano it was so cool. And nice video bye

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.

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!

I've been to the Stainway Hall yesterday in London Marylebone. These pianos are fantastic and very very loud, which is factor to take into account during the purchase, apart from the obvious size and cost, which you can imagine quite high. All pianos have incredibly responsive mechanics and huge variation in dynamics. At the end I think I'll buy a baby GP163, which is already an excellent instrument at a not too crazy price (around £25.000).
