  My parents had a friend who owned a Steinway.  It broke his heart when he had to move into a senior living facility and was forced to sell it.  Fortunately, the lady who purchased it made arrangements for him to go to her home and play it whenever he wanted to.

  “But ultimately the value of the piano is up to how much the musician values it.”<br><br><b>Me:</b> <i>“Can I have this for free?”</i>

  I have a feeling that the lady working on the pressure of the keys has a very underrated talent and job. She’s responsible for how those pianos feel. Probably one of the most important parts of a piano. Maybe even more than the sound.

  They really glossed over her saying “I used to dream about the pianos chasing me.”

  That&apos;s my dad! An expert ear they say, I can attest to that! He has been tuning pianos by ear his whole life and created his own company designed to make the feel of the piano adjustable to the user. Great video!!!

  So sad that many of this Grand Piano ended up in richman&apos;s house being a decorative luxurious item rather than an actual hard working piano.

  I used to work at a museum that had a 100 year old Steinway in the auditorium. I was the janitor, and spent so much time playing it instead of cleaning I got fired.<br>But that instrument was sublime. No matter what you did, it sounded glorious . It felt invigorating to play.

  “Decades” is a massive understatement. I have my grandmothers Steinway Baby Grand. I don’t really play piano anymore but I did when I was a kid which is when she shipped it to my mother so I could practice on it. It’s very beautiful and sounds amazing.. I can hear a distinct difference when I hear someone playing on literally any other brand.<br><br>Although it sees very little use, I have it serviced every other year and it stays in a climate controlled room. So unless my house goes up in flames, the baby grand will certainly outlast my existence..
