Comparison: Yamaha G1 160cm 1986 vs Bluthner 150cm 1933. Which is best?

These are two of the very best small grand pianos. The Yamaha has a heavier touch with a down-weight of about 52 grammes, while the Bluthner is 48 grammes. Occasional players might prefer the Bluthner as you don't have to work so hard, whereas the student might prefer the Yamaha as it strengthens the fingers. However, both pianos are eminently suitable for study.
