| Seasoned for Destination |
|
Yamaha specifically seasons this piano for the
North American market. The tuning stability,
finish and overall musical integrity are
enhanced over the long life expected of a fine
piano.
|
| Spruce Soundboard |
|
At the Yamaha lumber mill and wood processing
facility, the finest spruce is quarter sawn; and
less than 10% of the total is selected and
reserved for Yamaha piano 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.
|
| Full Length Ribs |
|
Yamaha reinforces the crown in its soundboards
by using ribs that continue to the edge of the
soundboard, and are glued into the notched liner
(or inner rim on the grand piano). Reinforcing
the crown ensures that the tone quality will
remain for years and years and improves tuning
stability.
|
| V-Pro Plate |
|
Yamaha uses V-Pro (Vacuum Shield Mold Process)
in casting the iron frame (plate). V-Pro plates
are stronger and visually more appealing.
Critical dimensions are produced more accurately
than before.
|
| Metal Action Rails |
|
Yamaha engineering developed a unique Extruded
Aluminum Alloy Action Rail (bearing a Yamaha
patent) that is one of the best innovations for
improving a piano action in the last 100 years.
The usual fluctuations in wood rails that effect
touch, caused by periodic weather changes, are
eliminated allowing stable, long-lasting action
regulation.
|
| Balanced Action |
|
Each key of a Yamaha piano is individually
tested and measured for the corrections needed
to obtain uniform "down weight" pressure. Yamaha
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.
|
| 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.
