Dear Fred: I wanted to let you know of our initial impressions of the four new Boston GP 178 five-foot ten-inch grand pianos that were installed in our ensemble classrooms last summer. Throughout the summer the pianos received a moderate amount practice by piano majors as well as staff accompanists. This fall the pianos are supporting classes in theory, music history, and extensive chamber music coachings and rehearsals. At this time, all of the Boston instruments seem to be very well constructed and completely free of any defects or flaws in workmanship. The tuning stability is excellent and the tone quality has brought many compliments from members of our string and piano faculties. While the tone quality, in my opinion, is not equal to the Steinway instruments found in our performance studios, it does seem to be superior to other mid-price pianos that I have evaluated in the same environments. As the pianos receive more usage, I will keep you informed on their continued performance and durability; however, at this time I am highly pleased with all four instruments as well as the dealer preparation ND insulation. Sincerely, |
