The Frame

The frame in a piano must be able to withstand a total tension in excess of twenty tons. Not only does the frame work to support the string tension, but it has a profound effect on the instrument’s sound. Yamaha makes its own frames, relying on a method of casting referred to as “vacuum processing”, the world’s finest such technique developed over many years in creating some of the best frames. During this time Yamaha have built up a storehouse of knowledge on factors such as the manner in which controlling the temperature and composition of casting, and even the coating used on the frame itself, affects the acoustic characteristics of the piano. This is a major reason why Yamaha is able to ensure reliable quality when crafting their pianos.

Voice and Regulation

The Depth of the piano keyboard is such that there is only 10mm of travel available to the player. Even so, the range of tonal changes produced by that small distance are so broad that they cannot be reproduced by modern technology. Yamaha dedicates an incalculable amount of time crafting and enabling the sound that players strive for. In meticulously adjusting the action to efficiently transmit even the most delicate nuances in the player’s touch, and fine-tuning the sound by needle-piercing the hammer itself to create a beautiful and varied tone, the master craftsman and their consummate skills ensure the highest quality of these instruments.
