My New Boston Piano – Designed by Steinway
It’s hard to decide what the best thing about Steinway Hall – Dallas is: the impressive pianos or the unusually capable and helpful staff.
In picking my new Boston GP-178 grand (serial no. 158777), I was very fortunate to deal with Yoori Marti, who is also their Concert & Artist Director (with amazing connections when it comes to local performances!). Not only does she know piano construction inside and out, she’s a very accomplished musician who knows how all the parts and pieces contribute to an instrument capable of making great music. Add to that the fact that she seemed to work almost around the clock to answer my every question and help me make the best choice, and that made for a more satisfying piano-buying experience than I could ever have imagined. I shopped at quite a number of other dealers and never found anywhere near that level of dedication, knowledge and musicianship in any other salesperson. Most seemed content to just “put in their 40 hours”.
My new Boston piano—which was designed by Steinway—is a lot of piano for the money! The wide tail design, tapered soundboard and all the other goodies really do make for a piano that sounds much larger than it is. The difference in sound between my new Boston and my old piano—another major brand and just 2 inches shorter—is stunning! Would I do it all again? In a heartbeat. No buyer’s remorse here! Thanks Yoori, and thanks Steinway Hall.”
