It was a much-used one that was not prominently displayed. There are five Steinways that could be called his piano. The famous one, Concert grand 318, or CD 318 (the D denotes its is part of the stable grand piano stable Steinway has for concert artists ...." Doug, There was a wonderful "Art-House" movie made about Glenn in the early 90's which empasized his attachment to the CD 318. Movie was "32 short films about Glenn Gould" Re: Yamaha....My ex was Director of Baldwin's Music Ed program in the late 60's early 70's at their Flagship store in Chicago. She was able to point out the faults with the"consumer" Yamahas at that time ,...defective workmanship in the hammers, action.... I don't doubt that Baldwin went BK and their stable of "Artists" moved on to other instruments.
