What a long, strange trip it's been -- (Robert Hunter)

I went Bosendorfer shopping last weekend. I didn't buy anything, but I do want eventually to get a Bosendorfer Imperial. How to get a 9'6" piano into a 9' elevator cab with a 7'6" door is a geometric question I don't quite feel prepared to answer, but I'd prefer to avoid the crane if at all possible.

The living room would be ruined, but the sound would be sublime.

...and here I thought getting a 36" refrigerator through a 32" door was a nightmare... 🤣

I am getting a bit of nervosa about never having owned the OG Yggdrasil. Am I missing something by having gotten LIM?

OMG, now that would be the epitome of piano lovers everywhere.
It's not possible to ruin a living room by adding a 9'6" piano in the middle of it. :)

Rest in the fact that Dave and Mike both think LIM is the best sounding version of Yggy -- even against MIB and OG. :wink:

I recall it being fairly strongly implied that, at the time the LIM and MIL versions were introduced, Dave & Mike preferred the LIM flavor over OG and MIL.

But MIB is new. I don't believe I have seen/heard anything on their preferences amongst the current YGGY flavors ... did I miss something?

At the MIB announcement, Jason wrote this:
Was it the best Yggy I’d heard? In some ways yes.
...
I consider it the best all-around Yggdrasil.
Mike still likes LIM. Dave still likes OG.
So, three people and three different opinions.

I believe that in a post made by Jason after MIB was formally announced, he restated that LIM was Dave and Mike's favorite. Since it was an MIB-related post, I can only assume this was also including MIB. It's been quite a few posts since then and I've been out of town and checking periodically, so it's possible I mis-understood, but I'm like 90+% sure it was stated by Jason post-MIB as well.
