Fantastic restoration! What is the first piece that you play? It is beautiful :))

C'est superbe de voir ce travail d'artisan ! Quand je changerai mon piano droit pour un piano à queue, j'espère trouver mon bonheur chez vous, même si vous êtes à 5 heures de route. J'adore la sonorité des pianos que vous restaurez.

I wish all subscribers more Fabian in 2025 ;)

Der Klang - wie wenn himmlische Chöre zu singen beginnen...WOW - und ein Chapeau an Klaviertechniker und Pianisten...Happy 2025 to You..♥♥♥

I have a 1985 Grotrian-Steinweg upright piano; it's incredibly good.

Mu lindo el piano y como tocas ¿está a la venta ? Y cuánto cuesta

Love your works and interpretations. I'm restoring one Bossendorfer 155, from abt 1924.

Great video, thanks. The tuning pins seem to be rather large though. Why did you decide not to replace the wrest plank?

When you take the keys off the piano at the beginning all the “ivories” are present, other picture show damaged keys….not sure I believe this restoration is actually real!👎🏻

I am following your work; greetings from Georgia. My Grotrian-Steinweg piano was manufactured in 1886 (it is already 138 years old). It is an upright piano (not a grand piano). Currently, it is tuned to 404 Hz, and I do not interfere with its authenticity to avoid losing it. However, I am wondering if it would be possible to raise the tuning to 432-440 Hz (the strings are in good condition, and the tuning pins, at first glance, still have some reserve). Thank you, and I wish you all the best.

♥️

Odd choice of music

The bass and tenor sing... Warm, alive, and beautiful. Elegant... a treasure. Fine restoration, Sir, congratulations🏆 A very happy Grotrian owner awaits...

Mi"Pequeño gran piano !! Cada dia que pasa, mas enamorada de su sonido aterciopelado y sus bajos solemnes. Gracias Fabian por ayudarme a encontrar mi piano. Gracias por que este Schimmel sea mi companero. Una privilegio haber estado en tu atelier y tocar tus pianos. sueno cumplido.

Yiruma sounds so beautiful on this piano!!

In a barn? An air conditioned and humidified barn with air filtration? Cleaner than most 20 year old pianos I run into in living rooms.

Nice detail is the support of the pinblock. Normally we use this when changing a wheel on the car.

The final price for restoration?

Fantastic video, thank you!

I love the attention to detail and the effort. I can't say I would ever want that two tone color scheme in my home, even being a Bosendorfer. 😉

Bosendorfer is much better!!

Как по мне бехштейн создан для спокойных мелодий и тому подобное, а блютнер скорее для экспрессивных танцев танго и тому подобное.

Angeblich hat Lipp & Sohn in seiner Blütezeit mit Steinway und Bösendörfer konkurriert!!!

Das ist einfach Handwerkskunst pur! Chapeau!

Traumhafter Klang und wunderschön gespielt!...Darf man nach dem ersten Stück fragen?

what is this song called

Grotrian-Steinweg 120, mit die besten Klaviere die man bekommen kann, und die oberen Registern meist zum niederknien

The Blüthner was shrill in the upper registers and wasn't quite in tune - just a bit flat. It was very obvious that it was not tuned using the tuner's discriminating ear in the last few measures when a first and a third were played together by the right hand. It sounded like it was tuned using an electrical tuning machine and not adjusted in the thirds and fifths. The bass had little presence - it was just a low note. The Bösendorfer was just a bit out of tune in the upper registers but not nearly as bad as the Blüthner. The Bösendorfer's upper notes were almost bell-like and not uncomfortably shrill. The bass had a nice resonant presence. The first and third notes near the end matched the mood of the piece - somber but in tune and not jangly. The Blüthner was 6'3". The Bösendorfer was 6'7" so size alone shouldn't make much difference. The quality and resonance of the sound board has to be the deciding factor in choosing which piano to purchase. It appeared that the mics were placed in just about the same place on each piano. The Bösendorfer would get my vote for the better sounding piano in this "contest." I would have liked to hear a piece that could have pressed the acoustics and resonance of the sound board as well as the lower end to their limits - a piece that was very difficult. Moving the mics off of the sound board and further out to where the "audience" would be would have displayed each piano's sound better.

Amazing sound! Clear, full, round, refined.

Being made to be loud while forgetting to make it play beautiful is something that has been lost from the modern piano industry thanks to gatekeepers telling people who want different what piano they want and throwing away period instruments like they mean nothing. The modern piano ruins the kind of music I write but these period instruments don't even though this piano is much more modern than the one I write for which has 77 keys, 2 strings per note and the strings don't cross.

Absolutely gorgeous now!!😊😊😊

Wow, amazing resurrection.

What was that mix you used for the cast iron plate? Mine has gotten all speckled and I want to do something like this when I eventually restring.

You just added a hundred years to the life of this beautiful instrument.

Klasse Instrument und ebenso gespielt! :)

Hallo,...ein außergewöhnlicher faszinierender Klang. Klasse ! Gute Arbeit und Vorführung. Ein fairer Preis für dieses alte "Schätzchen".

Blüthner hands down. I could listen to it all day. The sound is very complex and subtle. The instrument here is very beautiful.

These pianos from the golden age are gone as well as the great pianists of the past. Nothing but cookie punched performances today by speed freaks. No more soul . We’ve lost the art of music making. I’m not impressed by half dressed Asians playing faster than the speed of light

These kinds of pianos sound so magical, you can't get a sound this beautiful and balanced out of an overstrung piano while the modern piano was just an option at the time where you could choose a piano that sounds vastly different from another and not the only piano you could get as it is today where if you write music that doesn't suit the modern piano, you have to hunt down a period instrument or build one yourself.

A Blüthner with the Aloquot tuning system is a wondrous piano to hear. Especially the older versions. You won’t find contemporary woods with the grain patterns used in the older hand built German pianos and something magical takes place with the resonance produced by the well seasoned (aged) soundboard of those pianos if they are well cared for. There truly is something magical in the character, resonance, warmth and tonality of an older Blüthner piano that Kawai, Steinway and Yamaha will never reproduce. It’s very easy when your ear learns these things to understand why Claude Debussy preferred the warmth and character of that piano to the hard, bright sometimes cold or crystalline sound of other manufacturers.

Schöne Arbeit, tolles Video, danke.

Fantastisch 👍❤️

Fabulous

So Magnificent !!! The Restoration of beautiful pianos is such an Art.

Great job. Since I am so nice, I will volunteer to take the next find off your hand (after you fix it), 😀😃😄😁😆.

You are a true artist. This brought tears to my old eyes.

8:31 oh how great that You have such fast hands ;) thanks for video, waiting for more restorations!
