Played both Steinway and Shigeru. I'll take a Shigeru any day.

[@iowauss]

They both sound excellent !

[@gozillaism]

i have a model b and love it.

[@gregs3580]

I think what often happens is that many try to relate a concept of tone in terms of brightness while not taking into consideration the ability of a piano to retain openness, translucency when more complex music requiring intricate shading of voices and extended dynamic range and other tonal contrasts. A piano should have the capability to sound both like velvet and diamonds , it should have the range to do both and that in itself puts the onus on the ability of the person who performs on it.

Really hard to go wrong here❤

[@JeffinIC]

You're right, they do both sound great! It's a tough call for me between these two.

[@Snappydadshoes]

Would love to have these compared to a S6X or CF6 from yamaha. I know this is harder to accomplish since you're not a yamaha dealer.

[@SteveBlancoMusicianWarrior]

I'll take both please! Would be cool to throw a Bosendorfer in there, too.

[@reinhardtkk]

Would be interesting to compare to Bosendorfer 214VC

[@wokwithwong]

I will take the SK-6 over the Model B.

[@kram21]

[@kram21]

Sounds like some George Winston in the Stw B

[@parkthoven]

Shigeru sounds more brighter than Steinway to me~~:)

[@ROBERT-ml7ml]

Steinways are bright pianos, Kawai's are warm pianos.

[@gregs3580]

@@ROBERT-ml7ml WHAT????

[@Apologia14]

The Shigeru has a warmer sound, definitely not brighter.
