Review Snippets

  • I got to play a Bechstein recently. I was pleasantly surprised how warm, not bright, it was. The samples/models I hear on the intertubes are much brighter.
  • That Bechstein... Holy crap. Here's something for you to try... layer Steinway with it... turn up resonance a hair on both... and sound board impedance... you'll be surprised.
  • Composer attribution and project inspiration (butterfly-themed pieces)

  • @PhilBestMusic it is beautiful yes. Surprised you don't do much with the U4 it has a really unique sound and sparkles up the top end too. Try the U4 with a bit of mallet bounce adding a bit of delay it is really beautiful.
  • Yes the Bechstein has a beautiful quality in the top end.
  • I like it too! I'm recording stuff using it.
