Not to be that guy, but. You can't play a concerto by yourself because a concerto is when you play as a soloist with an orchestra. And you can't really say "a perfect concerto" like "a perfect arpeggio". Would make more sense to say "Can play a sonata by itself perfectly."

You can't, and near as I can tell, this piano can't. However, some Clavinovas on the market [e.g. Yamaha], could theoretically be used to play a perfect [or extremely close to perfect] Concerto by themselves.

I agree however that the headline was sloppy. Someone wishing to cast the impression of being an audiophile should have taken more care.

Not to take away from this piano though, I enjoyed listening to it. If I had $120,000 to throw away on an expensive piece of furniture that I could play myself from time to time, I'd really enjoy looking at this every day.
