“The acoustics at the new Steinway Hall are phenomenal. The sounds of the softest pianissimo to a grand fortissimo are ‘carried’ to the ear in the purest and most pleasant fashion. Moreover, the pianos sound truly wonderful there. All doubters thinking that Steinway & Son miscalculated their efforts for acoustic supremacy in their new venue, have been silenced.”
