there's a tremendous amount of piano politics going on unseen...steinway through their power has signed on as the 'official piano' of just about every major performance venue and also has endorsement deals with individual artists so they are not free to choose which instrument they'll perform on if they want to play at a hall...from what i've heard the few times artists have tried to buck the establishment it's affected their booking...btw, steinway is really a mass market instrument (and i'm referring to the u.s. version, the german is a differnt company) although i don't remember the production figures and the other makers mentioned are more boutique producers that not only offer a more individual sound but a better built instrument as well (i'm speaking of contemporary pianos here, not ones built in the first part of the century)...imho
