debussy and bluthner

excerpt of debussy's nocturne l82 in d flat written in the year of 1892, four years after his first arabesque. i first heard this on my teacher's bechstein from 1904 but i much prefer a richer, warmer and mellower fragrance in the tone which is personally what bluthner provides. a tone which is preferable to my liking means i can breathe much more and it should act as a current transporting me to an unknown place. my idea of tone stands in between the essence of european and american pianos, in other words, i am looking for a combination of clarity and blend, not clarity and focus found in most european pianos.
