Design Įarly Centennial D-270 built Sept 1877 (constructed case) being erected after transportĮven before the German-born family emigrated to the United States, the founder, Henry E. Īn estimate from 2003 suggested that more than 90 percent of concert grand pianos worldwide are D-274s. These are supplemented with a third Steinway piano brought in for the event. An example would be the famous Van Cliburn International Piano Competition, offers contestants a choice of two D-274s owned by the Van Cliburn Foundation, one a mellow-toned instrument made in New York, the other a bright-toned instrument made in Hamburg. In concert hall settings, on the other hand, the D-274 is a major presence. Īt 274 centimetres (9 ft 0 in) long, 156 centimetres (5 ft 1 in) wide and 480 kilograms (1,060 lb), the D-274 is too large for most domestic situations. As of 2017 a D-274 finished in Polished Ebony has a MSRP of US$175,700. It is generally described as the first choice of most concert pianists. I've been messing around with them for about a year now and they're the real deal.D-274 that exemplifies the products of Steinway's factory in Hamburg, Germanyĭ-274 (or D) is the model name of a concert grand piano, the flagship of the Steinway & Sons piano company, first built in 1884. They're also just about to release a new version. For those of us who are so well off, Zynthian is a project that greatly streamlines things, and encompasses basically everything out there in the Linux audio ecosystem, including Pianoteq, on a Raspberry Pi. The arguments people are making about having a piece of hardware that you just turn on is certainly valid, but they are also comparing to a stock laptop running a general purpose OS, and also, clearly can afford to spend the money.
I will probably always return to it for organ, at least until I can afford a real Hammond. What is pretty cool about the Roland is, in organ mode the keys respond to hair trigger touch like a real B3, so you can do those really fast funky effects.
I do also own a Roland VR-09, which by the way is incredibly hackable courtest of Ctrlr and a couple of custom panels. At the moment I'm using a Launchkey 61 when not using my weighted digital piano.
