One of the things that gets me every time I hear one of the VV pianos is how sweet sounding it is. It has that oh, so coveted soft attack of the MKI Rhodes when playing mezzo piano, but it doesn’t mean that you can’t dig in and give it a run for its money. Excellent playing, as always, you certainly do the instrument justice.
