Why factory construction matters
An acoustic piano combines wood, felt, metal, tension and precision mechanics. Moving one safely means respecting the instrument as a musical machine, not furniture.
Parts buyers should understand
- Soundboard: affects resonance and can be sensitive to humidity history.
- Pinblock and tuning pins: determine whether tuning can hold.
- Action: keys, hammers and regulation affect touch and response.
- Cabinet and plate: contribute weight and moving complexity.
