Just something I ran across. Listen to Elton John playing a handmade 19th-century Bechstein grand piano at Trident Studio in Soho. This is worth your time to read and listen to.

I love this kind of historical material. It's important to keep perspective that what we have today came about because of the great studios, adventurous people, skilled musicians, and engineers that pushed boundaries. Fantastic.
