But I believe the "designs and craftsmanship must be better as time goes by.unless, like Baldwin, it goes into bankruptcy and then Gibson buys them out and builds new pianos with brand new designs that have nothing to do with the originals, builds them in China and puts a Baldwin sticker on it.that's different. If it's simply that the older ones (.say pre-WWII) sound unique compared to the newer ones.then i can understand the preference. If i was offered a 1965 fully restored (AMERICAN) Steinway vs a 2015 one of the same model.isn't it a no-brainer? The new one of course!.right? Shouldn't scale designs improve over the decades? Wouldn't you want a new Ferrari vs a 100 yr old restored Ferrari if they looked exactly the same? Why do i see so much on restored/vintage Steinways vs New/er ones? Do Germans make a big deal about vintage Bechsteins being better than the new ones? Are Americans the only country/people that have a lot of people that say that vintage is better than new pianos (usually on on Steinway, M&H, and sometimes Baldwin).
