Hello Anders.Yeah, I got one of those Feurich. Was put off with all the plastic in the U3. Got mine for roughly 6k including the MIDI thing. Came from a showroom hence the price.
Have it at home, can’t really say how it records but it’s a great sounding upright. I don’t have the expertise to say that it’s better not worse than a U3. Similar sounding (ie big focused bass, controlled mids and sparking/biting highs) when I compared the Feurich suited my style more than the Yamaha. I’m saying that I’ve played U3’s that felt and sounded amazing. But those where older ones. You should be able to find a used for less than 6k.
Best,
/Anders
It would be great with a short video, if you have time for that...
The music school I work at bought the Wilhelm Steinberg pianos and I love them
