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. Critical dimensions are produced more accurately than before. V-Pro plates are stronger and visually more appealing. Yamaha uses V-Pro (Vacuum Shield Mold Process) in casting the iron frame (plate). Reinforcing the crown ensures that the tone quality will remain for years and years and improves tuning stability. 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). 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. That’s why Yamaha produces each and every component that goes into its pianos and why every aspect of that production is carried out with cutting edge technology and unsurpassed craftsmanship under Yamaha’s own strict standards for quality control.Īt 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.
