Acccess to the control roon was via the studio.
In addition to a good selection of new and vintage
German mics, and a fine model B Bluthner grand piano,


I once bought a 7'6" Bluthner. When it was installed the wife decided she
didn't like the tone so we replaced it with a 6 foot something Steinway,
which was put in a different room.

I suspect the problem was actually the room rather than the aliquot strings
or anything about the piano itself, as it sounded OK in the shop and the
dealer agreed that it didn't sound right in the house.

But the pianos, wife, house and fortune are all gone so none of it
matter any more. :-)
