There have been mixed reviews on Steinbach, I'd like to be able to decifer between the sales pitch and reality.Īnyone own a Steinbach and can provide feedback? Any professional input on the quality of the Steinbach? I am a piano novice.
As far as a piece of furniture goes, I love the Steinbach. For about the same price i can purchase either a second hand Kawai or branch new Alex Steinbach Windsor. Took 3 hours to replace them since they were in a place, where I wouldn't dare to get into. Tech found a few weak springs in the action (I was explained that they push back they key). Since that was a high end upright Sauter piano, I called a technician from The guy came out, took apart the keyboard, nothing wrong there, all the key bushings (guess that's what they are called) are fine, keys were not touching the rail. There are too many moving parts where 1mm makes all the difference.ĭown in Florida, our humidity is pretty high, and when we bought our piano, there were 3 sticky keys.
I inherited an old piano and a couple of the keys stuck, so I took them all out very carefully, kept them in order, cleaned them with a damp cloth and sprayed and polished them with furniture polish. On the side of the wooden part of the key half way down towards the strings, you may well see when it was made and every tuning or repair written in pencil. Remove the front board so you can see the harp with all the strings and the lift middle C key out. Do you know where middle C is on the keyboard? It is about half way along, very slightly to the left.
