			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>My absolute favourite is the Steinway B because of his very musician-friendly dynamical range and especially because of his beautiful sound :-)))<br />From pp to mf he sounds very lyrical what is great to perform romantic songs (f.e. Schumann, Schubert, Chopin Nocturnes...)<br />From f to fff he sounds more and more agressively which also allows to perform f.e. strange Beethoven sonatas or agressive Bartok pieces.</p><p>Surely the Steinway B is not to 100% perfect:<br />Depending on his short length (Steinway B 2,11m, many other grand pianos 2,4m - 2,7m instead) the lowest bass notes don&#039;t have that bass basement like bigger grand pianos (f.e. the Steinway D with 2,7m). This can be heard and must be said.</p><p>Nevertheless this grand piano is my favourite instrument to perfom music from any composer in a way that moves my heart and my soul too.<br />All other Pianoteq pianos that I&#039;ve tried until now don&#039;t seem to be able for me to reach the extraordinary dynamical and lyrical range of the Steinway B.<br />Surely many of these instruments sound really well too, but they don&#039;t seem to be &quot;the one grand piano&quot; for &quot;any cases&quot; like the Steinway B does for me.</p>]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>On my system, looking at nothing but the Player presets, the C. Bechstein D.G. is the cleanest and most realistic-sounding, the most like my acoustic.&nbsp; The Steinway B&nbsp; and then the D are up there pretty closely, then followed by the Ant. Petrof, then the YC5 and then the Steingraeber.&nbsp; </p><p>The Bluethner, my favorite from the early ver 5 days, is now the most unlike a piano in the current ver 6, with a rounded, softened, through-a-tube sound, as if it&#039;s got way too much &#039;case noise&#039; and reverberation (even though I have reverb turned off), and then it&#039;s covered with a blanket.&nbsp; The Grotrian is a close second in the unrealistic race, running slightly ahead of the Bluethner because it doesn&#039;t sound like it&#039;s being heard through a blanket.</p><p>The interesting thing about the Bluethner in the early Ver 5 days is that it seemed to be everyone&#039;s favorite for using as a base to make FXPs that sounded like Steinways, Steingraebers, Fazollis, Bosendorfers, etc., as if it was the most conformable and moldable.&nbsp; That characteristic didn&#039;t carry into ver 6.</p><p>...And that C. Bechstein D.G. is Oh so good!</p>]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>Everything is in the title.</p><p>Before that, I want to say that this list is subjective and doesn&#039;t mean anything. Your list will differ from mine, you will dislike and like other instruments, and that&#039;s okay. I thought that it might be interesting to know which pianos are statistically more liked than others.<br />You might also like another instrument (harp, harpsichord, electric piano...), and that&#039;s okay too, don&#039;t forget to put it on your list.</p><br /><p>With that out of the way, here is my list in order from most liked to most disliked:</p><p>(the ones that I don&#039;t own are listed with an *)</p><p>1. Ant. Petrof,<br />2. Steinway B,<br />3. C.Bechstein,<br />4. Steingraeber,<br />5. Kremsegg1 (Erard &gt; Streicher &gt; Besendorfer &gt; Dohnal),<br />6. <em>Blüthner,</em>*<br />7. <em>Grotrian,</em>*<br />8. Grand K2,<br />9. Steinway D,<br />10. <em>U4,</em>*<br />11. <em>YC5.</em>*</p><br /><p>I would also like to know which pianos are closer to the real ones.</p><p>For me at least, it seems like the Steinway B is close to a real Steinway B. On the other side, I don&#039;t feel like the Steinway D is close to a real Steinway D (maybe I am mistaken; I haven&#039;t had the chance to listen to one in person). Don&#039;t get me wrong though, it is a beautiful instrument.<br />The Ant. Petrof seems to be the most realistic (not close to the real one, although it might be the case).</p><p>The Blüthner is a tough one. I really like that one, especially the bass notes, but I don&#039;t like the middle ones. I think the Blüthner needs a refinement like the new instruments. This one is definitely number 1 on my wishlist though.</p><p>The YC5 is not my kind, the middle to high notes are strange I would say. This is kind of sad because the bass notes are great too.</p><br /><br /><p>Overall, Pianoteq is such a great experience. Every day, Pianoteq impresses me more than before.</p>]]></content>
