Very informed, you are. I mentioned the Hamburg Steinways because they are darker. The Bosendorfer is much darker and very plush with a soft attack. That’s why it is loved for Viennese music. As for the tuning, my teacher advocated the same stretching for the harp.

I bought a baby grand to facilitate rehearsing for performance, and to have the space underneath for storing stuff like harp covers.
