Taller upright pianos and longer grands possess longer strings, allowing better vibration and consequently richer sound. In addition, the length of a piano’s strings is directly related to the quality of sound and tone. The quality of string wire used in pianos is very important in the creation of sound. For this reason, all Alex.Steinbach piano soundboards demonstrate excellent sound generation and also withstand extremes of temperature, providing complete investment security. This tri-layer of spruce gives the soundboard strength and durability, while still retaining quality of tone with the spruce core. Even the highest quality spruce soundboards may crack or split in time and in certain locations.Īlex.Steinbach pianos retain the traditional solid spruce soundboard in the centre, plus add an innovative thin veneer (0.5mm) of genuine spruce wood, across the grain on each side. The orthodox method of using a single layer, solid spruce soundboard is not suitable for climates with extreme temperature or humidity changes. Triple-Strength, Fine-Grain Spruce SoundboardĪll Alex.Steinbach pianos feature an advanced, triple-strength soundboard, designed to withstand the harsh Australian climate.
