I've been consumed by lust ever since I was at university and had the opportunity to practice on the Bӧsendorfer 290 Imperial Grand, you know, the one with 97 keys keys instead of the standard 88. I spent about 6 hours a day with my love. Words can not express the depths of intimacy!
I've wanted one ever since. But they, like the objects of all lust, are unspeakably expensive, and I but a lowly civil servant. It was never meant to be. Or so I thought.
Through a twist of good fortune, my Bӧsendorfer 290 Imperial Grand was delivered here to the house yesterday! The richness of the tone! The deep, full-bodied resonance! The capacity to craft the finest and most delicate nuance!
But don't read, have a listen for yourself!
I must confess to having a difficult time deciding between the Bӧsendorfer 290 Imperial Grand, the Steinway and the Yamaha, so I decided to get all three as a set. Ahhh! Bliss.
