Which Piano would you choose?

Selecting a new Steinway for the Frick's concert hall in NYC.

Great minds think alike!
https://wtf.coffee-room.com/topic/1693/the-frick-needs-a-new-piano-choices/6I would have chosen the Hamburg too. A too-heavy action is a non-started, for one thing.
But as I said in the other thread, I would prefer to see a few more brand options.
I am dying to try a Fazioli... Maybe some day. There's actually one here on campus but I doubt I will have the chance to play it ever!

Also check out the photos of the Frick, lovely!

I liked the Hamburg best of these three, but I was surprised at the selection. It seems to me like the Frick should be able to choose from a broader selection that "action too heavy," "way too bright," and "it's okay if you really work with it."

No one gets fired for choosing Steinway.

I thought the 1882 Palisandra had the most beautiful tone. I would have opted for that one.
