“The best Steinways have a clarity and power of sound that are unrivalled by any other instruments. As a Steinway ages, its sound does not deteriorate, as is so often the case with other makes. When my students enter my studio and see a Steinway grand piano, they sense that they are coming into an environment for serious music making. This leads to a higher level of commitment from both teacher and student. In my own practicing and performing, having the responsiveness and sound quality of a good Steinway makes a huge difference in the quality of the performance.”
