“MATCHED STRENGTH” PLATE DESIGN
With as much as 20 tons of string tension placed upon the cast iron plate of an upright piano, the plate must be designed for maximum strength and stability. The proper combination of plate design, back post structure and string tension is essential to establish a solid foundation for quality tone and durability. To enable our plates to withstand this incredible stress, we use leading-edge CAD technology to match the strength and natural tonal resonances of the plate to the requirements of the scale design.
SOUNDBOARD AND RIBS
The selection of materials and the manner in which they are assembled can greatly affect overall volume and tone quality in a piano. Since the most vital sound-producing components of a piano are the soundboard and ribs, our wood specialists choose only the finest quality spruce to ensure superb tone and outstanding dynamic range across the entire spectrum of sound.
