Blüthner Model 2 Semi-Concert Grand Piano Review | Living Pianos

Blüthner pianos are made in Germany and have the highly regarded Renner action. bit.ly/2EkkprH

[@russmaleartist]

Beautiful tonality . . . it is bright in a good way, without sounding shrill or brittle -- but rather towards a rich, warm tone.

[@hellomate639]

Yes.... How the hell is it bright and mellow at the same time? A crisp, singing upper register with a warm, organic, woody tonality? This is literally the most impressive piano I've ever heard.

[@robgrune3284]

Bluthners are the best pianos. woods, build, action, sound - all are best.

[@colinmurphy2214]

The bubinga is really jaw dropping. Fantastic piano

[@mushthepig]

Hated the finish at the beginning. Love it after seeing the video. It grew on me. Lovely piano!

[@dundoderdumme3044]

I watch these video not because I can afford a piano (i'm a poor student), but because of your interesting music choices! Thank you from germany, mister Estrin :)

[@demetriolopezblanco225]

I own a Blüthner alliquot and no other brand of piano sounds like my "precious" fantastic...the most delicate and crystal clear cantabile and wgnerian bass notes.

[@trandinhnamanh]

THIS, is a truly wonderful instrument!

[@stuartylad]

This piano is what dreams are made of!

What a beautiful piano. It might be able to express Liebestraum no 3 quite nicely.

[@pondwithducks3092]

Is it just me or does its sound bear some resemblance to an old fortepiano? So interesting, I like this one

[@silviocorrea5271]

Fantastic piano Sound

[@richardblocher599]

Amazingly Beautiful.

[@pianorama]

Thank you - I'd make room for this!

[@jonstreeter1540]

Very much enjoying your playing.

[@AGC828]

Everything a C. Bechstein can do and MORE. Adds to my ears a "musicality" and crystalline highs no other piano can offer. That aren't harsh and hard to listen to as the highs were on older Yamaha's. A hidden gem of a company. A name few know of outside of Germany. Not sure why...low advertising budget? Perhaps if their piano's were mentioned in some Hollywood films. Maybe a bond film...one way to get their name out there. Right now only "piano-heads" know their name and those looking into hi-end grands.

[@marksmale827]

Lovely tone.

[@Ice_Karma]

I really appreciate seeing you play your theme in the intro and outro.

I Liked The President Polished Bubinga Wood In This Beautiful Blüthner Model 2 Semi Concert Grand Piano!

[@geraldparker8125]

The piano's sound is gorgeous. However, where does that buzzing sound come from? Is there something loose on the side of the instrument? Anyway, a wondrous piano!

What is the hardest piece that you've played on a piano?

[@hankaustin7091]

what an incredible sound for a European piano!!

[@Nunofurdambiznez]

Gotta agree with you Hank.. a gorgeous sound for something made in Europe! Usually European pianos are shrill and harsh, but, not this one.. has a very gorgeous tone!

[@NoName-yb1iv]

@@Nunofurdambiznez Am I missing something? Is there something wrong with pianos made in Europe? I thought the best brands were all European? Bechstein, Steingraeber, Bösendorfer...all European. Even the best Steinways are supposedly made in Hamburg. "...a gorgeous sound for something made in Europe!"...I mean, really!

[@YourFavouriteColor]

I love this guy. He's like if you blended Mark Hamill with Rip Taylor

[@domodepiano]

as wise national lampoons Christmas vacation states. "She's a beaut Clark!"

[@zenasm.savage1999]

Very nice chamber instrument. Doesn't quite match the Feurich Art Case in my book for overall amazement though. Deserves a nickname : Beautiful bubinga!

[@Kref3]

It looks beautiful and it sounds fine. But sadly I do not hear anything of the classic Blüthner sound anymore. They really decided some time ago that they want to compete with brands like Steinway. I own the predecessor of this model, the Style X (230 cm, 7‘6“), built in 1908. And as strange as it might sound: I would not swap these two pianos. I consider it really sad that you cannot hear a piano for a few seconds anymore and immediately say: „That‘s a Blüthner. And that a Bechstein.“ I really like the pre-WWII sound profiles. And even if I would e.g. think that the Steinway sound is nicer than the Blüthner sound (which I don‘t), I still would wish for these different sounds to exist. The only modern brand I know that is still very distinguishable by sound alone is Bösendorfer.

[@darioboente9013]

Amazing instrument! Not a big fan of it's timbre.. (too bright for my taste). It reminds me of Schimmel pianos. But, hey! it's just a matter of taste.... Still a beautiful sounding instrument. Superior to most out there.

[@dennisdeemii]

People in the blogs have often said of Mr Estrin that his instruments sound "bright" I wonder if it's his fussing with it. When I hear other Bluthners doesnt sound as bright.

[@maroni64]

I am jealous of this piano! Wonder how much is it? Anybody can tell me the estimated price of Blüthner like that! What it is....7ft?

[@orlandobordignon1732]

About 130.000 euro

[@janjool]

😍

[@edsmith3312]

Did you ever sell it?

[@LivingPianosVideos]

Yes, this piano sold. There are always more coming for you on LivingPianos.com!

[@simonkawasaki4229]

Let’s play something different than K 330, Rob.

[@garyschneider5781]

While it may seem repetitive, I think it helps to compare the sounds of different pianos.

[@WarrenPostma]

Legit

[@jean-gabrielclermont-tonne2475]

Pffff... grandios - like a hapsichord on which BACH played.

[@stephen129]

The piano almost looks CGI
