So I recently got to play the Ritmuller UP118R2, and I absolutely LOVED the key action. However, after playing a 121 cm BechSteiner, the 118 cm Ritmuller's sound felt kind of damp and mushy. The guy at the store told me that they can ship a Ritmuller RS130 as well, but I wouldn't get to try it before buying. Now considering I already love the ritmuller action, do I pull the trigger on the RS130 without getting to play it, keeping in mind that I found the 118 CM Ritmuller's sound a little dim and damp, so the 130 cm Ritmuller will probably sound more full. What are your thoughts?

Never buy a piano you don't play first.

Agree. Speaking from sad (read expensive) experience.

I am afraid of answering Taushi in case you think I dislike all Asion made pianos which is not true. However I would just say that at least you played the UP118 and at first you seemed to really like it. I presume you mean a BechSteiner to be a Bechestein 121?
That would be a much more expensive accoustic upright. I do not think it's a fair comparison to compare a Ritmuller to a much more expensive upright which has real quality hammers, a very high grade of spruce soundboard, no better doubt better workmanship on the piano. If I were you I would take the Ritmuller since you really liked it before the comparison with the of the Bechstein. No I just do not like ordering an unplayed piano of any kind not even a Bechstein. I wish you well on your search for an accoustic piano.
