These are very different pianos from the "usual" Steinway, and are a fine choice for 18th and 19th century classical. I much prefer them for Chopin. There was very interesting discussion on the Piano Forum about differences between NY and Hamburg Steinway - here . I wonder if it could be reflected somehow in the discussion about the differences between the sound of Ivory II American D and Galaxy Vintage D? W. Hoffmann V120/Vario KAWAI ES-8

Now, the Vintage D is the number one. Could you share your insights why you prefer the Vienna over the Vintage D? I don't have Galaxy Pianos and maybe I am misssing something interesting. Romek Vienna is a very powerful VST - i feel it has more dynamics to it and that suits my playing style. I like thunderous bass. I like that it is brighter too. I had to get used to the somewhat nasally sound but once i did i feel that if i ever could afford a concert grand I would skip a Steinway and go right for a Bosendorfer. Although I'm not knocking any brand. I really like them all... Yamaha, Kawai, Steinway, Bose, Baldwin. I probably will never be able to afford a Steinway or a Bose - maybe someday I'll be lucky enough to get a new Yamaha C3x - i'd be happy with that.

Thanks for the tip mitzysman, I will try it (it will be my fist step to "be like Oscar Peterson" who is my favourite jazz pianist ) If I won the lottery I would buy the Bosendorfer 155 Mignon grand with the Yamaha's SH system Romek P.S. I tried to find Vienna as a separate product but I found only the bundle of 3 grand pianos (Best Service website). Is it available somewhere else? Last edited by Romek; 12/14/13 04:07 AM. W.
