The bass and tenor sing... Warm, alive, and beautiful. Elegant... a treasure. Fine restoration, Sir, congratulations🏆 A very happy Grotrian owner awaits...
Very nice, thank you for sharing. I've got a 1912 Grotrian-Steinweg short grand, bought it when a University Music Department was getting rid of it as well as some Steinways, Bluthners, Bösendorfers, etc. Went for the Grotrian-Steinweg (marked as "Steinweg Sucessors" for marketing for import into the UK I imagine) as it had become my preferred practice piano rather than all the other ones, both for responsiveness of action (repetition) and tone. Always been interested in Erards and recently tried an 1880s London Erard. Loved the action, and tone inspiring despite being out of tune. What struck me about the Erard's action response in addition to excellent repetition, and what I feel like I can also hear in your playing the Grotrian-Steinweg in this video is the fine dynamic control in particular the fine ability to play softly, subtly and sensitively - not softly from the perspective of an audience member in a large concert hall, but softly from the perspective of the pianist, which I struggle with on many modern pianos, also still somewhat on my 1912 Grotrian-Steinweg (possibly partly due to wear and tear, though have had technical work done on action regulation, possible due to inherent limitation of design).
Thank you very much for this; so interesting. It's refreshing to hear different kinds of piano sound, since the Steinway D is so ubiquitous today (though facing interesting competition from Shigeru Kawai, Yamaha CFX, Fazioli, Bechstein and Steingraeber now). I've enjoyed your beautiful relaxed playing which really shows off the piano. I don;t recognise the third piece - also, are some unisons a bit out by the end of the third piece. I wouldn't have suspected from the "before" recording, that such a transformation could be achieved!
Beautiful. Is there a quality/tone difference between silver and black tuning pins. It seems I see more and more black ones on new and refurbished pianos. Thanks
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.
I look forward to your videos on your channel. If I were near Switzerland I would certainly patronize your piano company. I have a very well restored 1901 Steinway all made in New York. It’s become a bit too large for my living room and I should downsize but I do enjoy the piano. I am always looking at yours and sometimes thinking oh well that would work better for me. Keep up the wonderful work. I love your plan by the way so if you were stars play well but you do.

Hallo! How much do you charge approximately for this work?
Beautiful. Is there a quality/tone difference between silver and black tuning pins. It seems I see more and more black ones on new and refurbished pianos. Thanks
the difference between the tuning pins is just the look. the old pianos originally all had black. ( it is dark blue)
@@sarbachpiano thanks for this clarification.
Wonderful instrument - clearly restored with great expertise and attention to detail.
