Where it sits
The same price range holds 3 other grand pianos – too few to rank by thirds. The Steinway & Sons B-211 from the same brand sits around €115,000 below it. At a comparable price the comparison also lists Fazioli F278 and Bösendorfer 290 Imperial.
Strengths & limits
In its favour
- The reference sound everything is measured against
- Handwork, about a year of build time, one-of-a-kind character
- Excellent value retention
Against it
- Sold only via authorised dealers – prices are list-price orientation
- Needs space, climate care and regular concert tunings
