New Boston Grand GPE 156

[piano heads]

Had heard through a friend of mine the improvements Steinway had made to their Boston range of pianos and was called to tune one the other day,it was their smallish grand and i was literally blown away by the overall performance both in the action response and tone for such a small grand,regards tuning basically it tuned itself as i believe they have now added a Steinway pinblock a joy to play and tune.

The Boston grand pianos are made by Kawai in Japan. Kawai make excellent pianos and apart from the marketing and the "designed by Steinway" decals on the piano, their quality, components and manufacturing have little to do with Steinway and Sons.
I believe that Boston pianos have recently had an upgrade to the "Performance Edition" which may be akin to the "Blak" upgrade of the Kawai RX grand pianos.
The Boston is a very nice piano, but it is certainly not a Steinway and Sons piano.

Kind regards,

Robert.

I also like the Boston pianos and am a fan of Kawai pianos in general. Good old Japanese piano manufacture. They say manufacturing in Japan will be hit hard but I don't know if that includes the piano industry
