Diapson 6' grand piano

This Diapson (pronounced: Die-ap-son) from Korea was a special gem that I found at piano and keyboard centre in richmond hill. It's a beautifully sounding piano and listed for $10500. The piano has a full bottom tone that plays well for songs that command bass notes like the toccatta in D. However, the low frequencies sometimes get too muddy for a discerning ear. In particular, quick moving pieces can tend to get lost within the sound.

Reaction felt good. Keys popped up after being pressed, weighting on the keys were balanced and the piano played reasonably well considering it hadn't been tuned or reconditioned since it was shipped.

Out of many Yamaha's and Kawai's I played here, this one sang to me. For some reason, I think I'm playing better on poorer, duller sounding piano's than the brighter and newer pianos that steinway or yamaha makes. Not to say that this piano was too dull or it sounded bad (the apollo in the store was the worst I've heard. Did someone throw a towel inside that cabinet?) It just had a different character and sound about it that was unlike many of the others I've played.

Would I buy this one? I wouldn't because of the muddiness that some chords make when stringing them together, this piano wouldn't be a contender.
