PIANO 

CRAFTSMANSHIP

Every set of hammers is checked for quality and sound before being used. The action’s several thousand parts are fitted and precisely aligned by craftsmen. When you play the piano, it needs to feel barely perceptible as if it was part of your body. In order to get this extraordinary result, lots of tests and fine selection of materials for the keys are needed. Key shapes that facilitate fast repetition speed and measuring the weight of the keys are important factors in the process of creating lasting quality and to extend the life span of the hammers. Only after a final tuning along with a rigorous final inspection by a master craftsman is the instrument permitted to be moved on. All tonal and action aspects can be adapted to your individual request.

This is a very important process to bring out the tonal potential of the piano via selective needling of the hammer head with needles of varying strengths, at different angles and parts of the hammer head. This is decisive in determining the character of the piano (bright or mellow tone) and it is one of the most skilled and sensitive processes in the entire manufacturing process.

The aesthetics of the piano have a big impact on the sound, visual effect and presence in the room. It involves a beautiful elegant design, with a rich colour finish, which is a result of smoothing numerous times, gradually changing the grade of the sandpaper, and being applied one layer at a time with meticulous buffing in between. A modern style of the pedal lyre, durable and stronger, keys that look and feel like natural ivory for a comfortable touch and latest technology in lid finish, preventing reflecting glare in the eyes, all these and more make a piano look as good as it sounds.

Every instrument has its own special nuance and particular tonal properties due to the use of natural materials such as wood and felt which will never be exactly the same from one piano to the next. They are unique instruments that have musical personalities of their own. Each piano manufacturer uses different techniques of construction but they all have the common belief that for the instrument to be a masterpiece they have to use prime quality materials and experienced masters and specialists.
