In this instance, my Steinway grand is in the process of undergoing hammer filing and regulation, so the two instruments are not perhaps justly comparative. Still, it&#8217;s instructive to hear<em> tonal</em> differences between the two, and decide which is more appealing for listeners. (Note the tempos taken are slightly different)</p>
