My Estonia Piano arrived from Tallinn, and it is just gorgeous!
Hand-built in my homeland, it has a rich resonance from the Estonian hardwood that is immediately apparent.
I figured I might be biased, and generally unqualified to judge such things. But the piano teacher came over tonight to see it, and she has played many pianos in many countries. She said it was the most sensitive piano she had ever played, with a wide dynamic range, and a clear bell-like quality extending to 5 or 6 extra notes on the high end. I got the sense she really liked it.
Major kudos to Indrek Laul and the team in Tallinn. I first met Indrek at the USBF gala in D.C., and learned of his modernization of the Estonia Piano Factory. This custom build took a few months of anticipation…
