Came across this today; a piano supposedly made in Germany, so it says on the frame, but methinks the stringback is from elsewhere. This has a very clear bass sound for a 128 cm upright. Those slots in the shelf must be the secret. While this piano is very expensive compared with the equivalent size Yamaha U1, it is built really cheaply. Here is the substitute for the traditional keybed and keyframe. Balance and touch rails are glued to a sheet of plywood which is bolted to a tubular metal frame. The backtouch felt is glued directly to the tubular frame . This particular piano had to be replaced by the retailer because the regulation went completely haywire over the winter! I wonder why? The question now is, if the stringback comes from China and the casework is made in Germany and a Renner action thrown in for good measure, from where does the piano actually originate?
