凱因斯的生活隨想

前幾天剛從國外買了本Piano buyer, 2012 fall

消費者等級的鋼琴 (Consumer grade pianos)

1. Upper level : Seiler (ED), Boston verticals (Indonesia), Kawai (GE) grands, Kawai verticals (Indonesia), Yamaha (GC) grands, Yamaha verticals (China)

2. Mid-range: Essex, Kawai (GM) grands, Yamaha (GB) grands, Baldwin (China), Pearl River, Samick, Weber, Young Chang

3. Entry level: Altenburg, Falcone, Wyman

<後記>

1.  沒想到Steinway的副牌Essex的評價這麼低, 跟Pearl River同等級,是因為被Pearl River代工的關係嗎?

2. Boston (Japan)雖然是Kawai代工,但是等級卻比Shigeru Kawai還低?

3. Kawai (GE) grands 與Yamaha (GC) grands都只算是consumer等級的琴而已?
