Do not forget that having „a Steinway“ or a „Bechstein“ for many people means that the piano is 100 years old (I think of my neighbor‘s 100 year old Steinway with a cracked soundboard, too). In so many years, a lot can happen. And in 100 years, the piano will sure not have been kept in perfect environmental conditions (which is a difficult topic for piano owners).
