Spruce Soundboard
The finest spruce is quarter sawn at the Yamaha lumber mill and wood processing facility. From this, less than 10% of the total is selected and reserved for Yamaha soundboards. Solid spruce, rather than laminated spruce or poplar, is the choice in all fine pianos for the best amplification of sound, best tone and sustain.
Seasoned for Destination
Yamaha specifically seasons this piano for the Australian market using a proprietary technology. The tuning stability, finish and overall musical integrity are enhanced over the long life expected of a fine piano.
Tuning Pins
Yamaha tuning pins are manufactured in-house, to exacting specifications that ensure stability and durability.
Pinblock
Yamaha pinblocks are made in-house, ensuring that correct materials and procedures are used. This is vital for long term tuning stability.
Spruce Keys
Yamaha uses Spruce for the keys on all models of pianos. Spruce is very light and possesses a very high ratio of strength to weight. It is ideal for key construction, even though its cost is greater than either sugar pine or bass wood. Yamaha keyboards respond quickly providing fast repetition for the most intricate piece of music. Yamaha keyboards withstand heavy use over years of fortissimo passages.
V-Pro Plate
Yamaha uses V-Pro (Vacuum Shield Mold Process) in casting the iron frame (plate). V-Pro plates are both stronger and visually more appealing and allow critical dimensions to be produced more accurately.
Metal Action Rails
Yamaha engineering developed a unique Extruded Aluminum Alloy Action Rail which is one of the best innovations for improving a piano action in the last 100 years! This eliminates the usual fluctuations in wood rails caused by periodic weather changes that effect touch, allowing stable, long-lasting action regulation.
Balanced Action
Yamaha test every piano key individually and measure them for the corrections needed to obtain uniform “down weight” pressure. As a result, Yamaha piano actions play correctly and uniformly. This balancing helps ensure a lifetime of superior touch and control across the keyboard.
Uniform Key Travel
Yamaha designs all grand and vertical pianos to have the same key travel. Regardless of size, type or model of Yamaha piano, the keyboards will always feel the same.
