Post Subject: A Piano good for Audio guy?Posted by Romy the Cat on: 9/2/2014

It is kind of unexpected to me but over the last 2 weeks I have developed a great interest in our new piano. Nope, I still do not play peas and have no interest to learn but I do find a lot of pleasure to make our piano to sound in the way I want. I have learning a lot about piano voicing techniques and I have to tell you that it is very interesting subject, at least it fascinates me. Ironically the make a piano to sound in the way how I feel it need to be is not different from audio. The concept is very much the same: your take a random resale and shape it into the sound you feel it has to me. Even though the methods are different but the methods are kind of irrelevant., What is relevant to know how to listen and how to interpret the heard. There is even something more. I do think that dealing with this piano and trying to understand Sound that is coming from it makes me more experience and more disseminative audio listener. I would be very interested in the end of my piano journey, with all methods available to me, if I will be able to make my 100 years old Meson to sound in the way how I think it shall sound, namely to make piano good for Audio guy, I am very interested what would pianist would say about the sound of the instrument. I do not mean that it will have the action type will be the same as it was on Glenn Gould's infamous Steinway CD318 but I do think about a very specific character of Sound, let see how it works...
