ACOUSTIC ASSEMBLY

SOUNDBOARD

The soundboard and ribs are made from specially selected, fine-grained European mountain spruce, which is stored for years and dried carefully.

BACK FRAME

Six highly robust, quadruple-laminated braces made of layers of solid pine form the stable backbone of the upright piano. This premium quality construction guarantees climatic stability as well as impressive tonal volume and exceptional tuning stability.

PINBLOCK

High-quality pinblock material made from cross-laminated and compacted sheets of beech veneer for excellent, even tunability and tuning stability.

TUNING PINS

Quality tuning pins made from nickel-plated steel. Balanced torque, low torsion, excellent tunability and tuning stability.

CAST-IRON FRAME

The cast-iron frame has the stability needed to withstand the enormous string-tension. Thanks to the careful sizing and traditional method of sand casting by hand, the cast-iron frame also enhances the sound.

STRINGS

Made from quality piano wire with high tensile strength and valuable copper wire from Germany, the strings have been calculated to maximize string length with balanced registers, harmonious overtone spectrum and excellent tuning stability. The strings are held in place by agraffes in keeping with C. Bechstein’s traditional design.
