I looked at a 1987 kawai GE-1 baby grand, it's 5' 1".
It sounds good except the lower end is muddy sounding.
I asked the shop to have a technician check it out and call me to have
another listen after it's been gone over. While there, the owner showed
me a brand new 5' 0" Hallet, Davis & Co baby grand. They are exactly the
same price.
What are the pros and cons? The Hallet & Davis sounded a little better
but it's not 17 years old either.
I would have thought the kawai would have beat it hands down.
