Because they are very good pianos .... and are much more affordable than many of the good europian companies. (rubbish !)

Musicians prefer to use Steinway pianos, because of the range of sounds that they give out ... in conjunction with the touch and tone. Steinway do not compromise on their build, and every design feature is there to enhance and get the absolute most out of the piano.

Put yourself in the shoes of the concert pianist, who ... whenever they are on stage want to 'shine' as best as possible, therefore they want the best tool to use.

This does come at a cost, and in general they are far more expensive that any other grand piano ... however, that does not factor into major institutions and concert halls purchasing the best piano.

Are the Whitney Chicago pianos a good piano?

Compared to what? Most of them were of average quality intended for home use. No obvious problems but just adequate musical instruments.

How does bosendorfer compare with steinway and sons?

A Bosendorfer and a Steinway are designed and built in a very different way, and therefore have a very different sound.Treble: Bosendorfer does not enhance the treble, unlike Steinway who do by the use of a 'duplex scale' ... therefore the Bosendorfer treble area is generally less bright.Bass: Bosendorfer enhances the bass area by using a taller and more fanned or wider spaced out bridge, giving a thick deep sound ... and yes, often thicker and deeper than Steinway ... but most music is not 'bass only' ...So put these two together .. and a Bosendorfer has a big bass matched with a not so strong treble. You should also compare that 99% of worldwide concert halls have a Steinway piano as a musical industry standard.
