Thank you for your positive comment. These actions are so technician friendly. It would be great if manufactures today could also give this system a try. Marcus
Marcus, thank you for bringing this marvel to light here. There's something about old Blüthners that can be sensed only by talking to them through their keys and listening to what they say in response. I wholly agree that it sounds warmer, if not richer, that the Bechstein you compared it with. (Truth be told, I'm biased toward Blüthners, as the first concert grand I had even laid my fingers on was a pre-1910 patent action Blüthner; and vivid childhood impressions tend to persist.)
I don't think I can stomach the Bluthner sound. I was searching for the words to describe it and you pretty much nailed it: "mellow" and "bright when you need it" and also "richer" than the Bechstein. I think it's that combination of brightness and mellowness that create an attention grabbing, overly sweet, overly rich sound that irritates me. I think,overall, Bechsteins have my favourite sound.
That is just a beautiful piano

Just glad they did away with the brass flanges : )
how does the Blüthner tone differ from the Grotrian-Steinweg? and August Förster?
What would you say is the best upright in terms of repetition
Same question I have in mind too!
wheww wow
