This piano was special ordered from Germany with a music stand similar to the Classik model, which allows better sound feedback to the player and is also more beautiful. After delivery to my home in Boston, all of the bushings were gone through and adjusted as required by one of the best technicians in New England, at a cost of $3000. After extensive voicing over a number of years, the piano began to acquire the magnificent sound it has today. It is maintained by one of the elite tuners in Boston. It has never spent a winter day unhumidified, and the Dampp-Chaser humidity system is included with purchase. From Wikipedia: "In The Piano Book by Larry Fine, the German-made August Förster piano receives the highest possible rating in the areas of performance, quality control, and confidence (Fine’s term for general durability). In his "Group 1: Highest Quality Performance Pianos" category, Fine ranks the modern August Förster piano as superior to such internationally respected instruments as C. Bechstein, Fazioli, Grotrian, and Steinway. In addition, Fine praises the modern Förster piano for its "remarkable bass," and also comments on a particular "responsiveness" of the Renner action when observed in the Förster application."US retail on this instrument is $78K, with typical selling prices being in the 60's.
