Yes, in many of Europe’s majors you’ll see stringed instruments of all hues.
BTW, I’m right about current Long Island Steinways. If you must have one make sure it was made in Hamburg.
But they still cant hold a candle to the “Three B’s”, Baldwin, Bosendorfer, and Bechstein.

Name me one player that can be verified. I was just over in Germany and the Czech Republic and saw nothing of the sort (especially blue).

Newer Baldwins can be terrible. I agree that Bosendorfer and Bechstein can be great instruments if well maintained.
