Dear Chuck:
A note of thanks for providing your Steinway concert D for my recent recording date. I’ve never had a session proceed so smoothly, no small thanks to the caliber and condition of the instrument. It is amongst the finest Steinways I have ever. performed on, and Karl had it perfectly regulated.
The New York Steinway sound at its best is far more to my taste than that of any European instrument, including Bechstein, Bosendorfer, and those from the Steinway’s own Hamburg factory. Long Island has also gotten its act together in the past few years as far as the action is concerned.
I look forward to many more performances on this splendid piano.
With all good wishes,
Sincerely, Robert Silverman.
