The tone of a piano has noting to do with the wood; it's all in the pickups.

I have found that they ALWAYS use pedals. Purists eh?
Just gotta make sure your hose has the right water pressure and your pet snake was born under a blood moon. Check those blocks and Bobs your uncle.I've heard that herding carrots is a lot harder than herding cats. Most people just orange up to it.
Hear hear!It's the wrong tone wood. You'll never get it to sound like that unless the whole instrument is made from unobtanium.
Moved, or have they been stuck in traffic for so long?Only because they moved here!
and 2 fingers if we're talking Django230 if we’re talking strings. 88 if we’re talking keys. I myself have played in 12 keys….
If only it was a Bosendorfer Imperial, I'dd be all over it.You really should try flats on a Steinway, especially the pre-CBS 1885 one if you want that "vintage thump". I can't stand Steinways with that grand piano tone.
However, since this is TalkBass, I'm sure I'll get your opinions anyway. And I'm also sure that they'll go off on a tangent completely adverse to the topic of this thread. As a bonus, I expect I'll get opinions questioning and judging the steps that I outlined, rather than focusing on the desired conclusion.
omg ! not those opinion things againThat requires a green apple and, if I remember correctly, a neutron in the hydrogen atom. If that doesn’t work, use ebony and take your car to the car wash on Saturday.
