DOS Posted May 17, 2001 Share Posted May 17, 2001 Okay, you might think this is lame and maybe it's a topic that some of you don't care about, but I'll go on. While I'm still young, I like to think about the dream home (or apartment) that I'm going to buy and being a piano player, I constantly think about what sort of grand I should get. Well guess who makes the most beautiful pianos in the world. No, not Steinway, Bosendorfer, Bechstein, Fazioli, not even Sauter. Just go to this website and check some of their models. I almost don't car about how they sound. I'm in love! http://www.seiler-pianos.de/eng/customized/solitaire.htm Any thoughts?

Rod S Posted May 17, 2001 Share Posted May 17, 2001 From the picture the only place it would look good in would be a trailer home. You mean you would take a steinway or a bosendorfer over one of these things? http://www.musicplayer.com/ubb/biggrin.gif To each his own I guess... Owning a house is over rated anyways. There's plenty of overpasses to camp under.

DOS Posted May 17, 2001 Author Share Posted May 17, 2001 I don't think you saw the rest of the models Rod. Mike This message has been edited by DOS on 05-17-2001 at 02:47 AM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Sound Posted May 17, 2001 Share Posted May 17, 2001 Those are soooo cool! http://www.musicplayer.com/ubb/biggrin.gif I don't play... but they sure are pretty! These seem like Pianos for people who don't play piano... show pieces for ecentric rich folk. I wonder if they make Trombones.... http://www.musicplayer.com/ubb/biggrin.gif Valky www.vsoundinc.com Valkyrie Sound: http://www.vsoundinc.com Now at TSUTAYA USA: http://www.tsutayausa.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve44 Posted May 17, 2001 Share Posted May 17, 2001 Man.. they look like pianos made for an auto-show, or made to match some of those new "concept computers" that Intel sponsored. Jeez, these things even blow away that Yamaha Piano that had the dual lids and the integrated computer. they probably cost the same though.. I especially like "suspension" - it would be funny to teach people what a suspension is when playing piano on that thing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SolipsismX Posted May 17, 2001 Share Posted May 17, 2001 man, those are AWESOME. The day I have money to throw around is the day I get one of those. I mean, they may not be steinway, but I bet they don't sound that bad.... Don't you hate it when your eyes decieve you from things that will help out your other senses? Like food that LOOKS good or movies with cool visuals? Even though I've never been guilty of actually BUYING a cd because it had a cool cover, I've sometimes looked at the track listings and got a little curious about the band. And don't you just love these new funky colored virtual analog synths? Haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Bryce Posted May 17, 2001 Share Posted May 17, 2001 They actually had some of these at the Messe a few months back - I remember that Showmaster model. The funny thing is - I was intrigued by how it looked, but I wasn't really tempted to play it. Go figure... They are pretty interesting looking pieces of equipment - not sure that I would ever have the courage to buy one, though. dB ==> David Bryce Music • Funky Young Monks <== Professional Affiliations: Royer Labs • Music Player Network Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marino Posted May 18, 2001 Share Posted May 18, 2001 Dos, since you're still young, I would dare suggest a revision of your priorities, if you want to be a musician at least... My suggestion is a big picture of the Seiler on the wall, and a Hamburg Steinway to play on, if you really have the bucks... http://www.musicplayer.com/ubb/smile.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you buy one, it'll double in value in thirty years so it's a good investment (especially in these economic times). I'd just buy a vintage 6.5' Steinway grand, for like $12,000 (but you can find them cheaper), and spend $10,000 on it to have it completely restored (that includes shipping and Renner action). No that's not cheap, but when you think about it, Yamahas of the same size go for that much and they won't appreciate like a vintage Steinway.
