They all sounded good to me.

I wonder how much the variation in pianos across different concert halls affects the pianists?

I’ve selected a Steinway for a concert hall here. They really are different from one another. Some say this is true of Steinway more than other makes. So many factors to consider: how responsive to input, ease of playing, tone quality, sound projection, brightness etc. Another pianist was with me. Out of five pianos, we both agreed on the best one.
