That's beautiful. The notes sound as pure as a digital piano afterwards. Cool technique with the unisons. You sure dial them in quickly that way with the rocking back and forth. I'll try that.
Большая проблема в этой программы, что шаблоны темперации которые там имеются, они не подходят для настройки фортепиано. Интервалы в большой и контр октавах очень фальшиво звучат. Поэтому строй в этих октавах только по слуху нужно настраивать.
Tired of hearing about inferior quality and how there junk, it's the furthest from the Truth I guess if it doesn't have Steinway on it people think it's junk.
sorry but they aren't worth to buy. buy proper piano unless it takes more. something I learned from books or lessons to regulate upright action didn't work with these.
I tuned my piano twice now. The first time it lasted about 3 weeks, and the second time it started to mildly go out of tune after a week. I always got good enough results but it is not lasting. I use piano meter.
Look into Hailun and Pearl River. Their craftmanship is fine. American pianos aren't mass produced and neither are European pianos. Some European makes, prestigious ones, are using Chinese manufacturers for their middle lines. The only mass produced pianos are Chinese, Korean and Japanese, with Japanese being the highest (from Yamaha and Kawai) but to say Chinese pianos have poor craftmanship is a dated notion. They go from not so great to excellent. Bechstein and Steinway would not build some of their lines in China if Chinese pianos were all trash.
concert tuning with so bad tuning? funny.. Yeah it is no problem that he used the app, but he must check at least the octaves. I don understand how he doesn't worry about relation between tones at all..
What do you know about any of it? The most successful brand in the world, the INVENTORS of the modern grand piano. 100 percent of the top concert halls in the world have a D, most often multiple Ds.
I hope they give them hearing protection, have good ventilation so their work will not only pay a salary but protect so they can go home in evenings in good health
I would have done a muteless pitch drop with TuneLabs - but that's just me.... Nice method! and good to hear someone take the time to do a good unison check!
I appreciate that the young chap playing the piano didn’t appear to be able to show any significant difference in its tone by his playing of Clare de Lune, it wouldn’t be my way to find out what the changes were by playing it loud all the time, where were any of the most basic dynamics? I remember speaking to one of the London Techs, and generally speaking, when a piano came into the shop it was set up and tuned, end of. They very rarely changed the tone of the piano, also, I was told that they/you shouldn’t ever apply hardening agent directly to the crown only on the different parts of the shoulder. I would agree with another contributor, if you want that sort of brash sound, you need to go look at some other make of piano.
I don't care how pretty it is, how it sounds, how the keys feel, or which fake name is stenciled on it. I will never buy a chink-made excuse for a piano.
Quick google search is saying that there is 40 MILLION Chinese Piano Students. 7 times the US. That requires a lot of Piano's. Given the wage difference, they need less expensive instruments. I'm glad the Chinese families have this as an option for them.
Just soul-crushing work, but the manual dexterity of the balance rail punching girl is impressive. No way to do key leveling with an auto-machine. Steinway does not allow the public to record their proprietary action part producing machinery. Very interesting to see similar machines here.
Not to say it, but the Chinese piano market is known for low quality, almost disposable builds when you could get something so much better for a third more.
China made low quality was rooted in many people mind, but many famous brand was manufactured in China, and a Brand call Hailun was highly command ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jfMCmg2dG6w.html if you purchase a very low price China made whatever items but expect it to have High stranded high price product, not fair, right?
That's not entirely true. Some Chinese companies are making pianos for European companies. Zimmermann is Bechstein's "affordable" pianos and are quite good. Pearl River makes the Essex line for Steinway. Hailun makes some very nice pianos and pianos for Fuerich as well. Some Chinese pianos are low quality but others are very high quality.
@benjaminsmith2287 Understood and agreed, but it's a falicy to believe that the entry level quality of the farmed out to China builds and lines is in anyway comparable to the native company’s builds.
But they are building the right piano. The piano buyer's can afford, say because not enough money, or more precisely because most people don't understand the real cost of such a complex instrument. And, in this situation, some chineses factories are building very surprising quality for a low price, and they sell a lot of them, you only have to look that line of production, compare it with the actual line of the surviving European factories (Petrof? Bechstein? may be Steinway is an exception, because the name). And that is the way to produce the best piano in the future, I don't think they need more than 20 years
B72 is a solid. Acetone is liquid. How do come up with your ratios.? What standard of measurement? Ounces, mililiters, drams? Too vague about methodology to be useful . Also why not use a pipette so you can add precise amounts to each hammer?
Please see video description for mixing ratios. I think ratios are best described in % solids (something I realized after I edited the video!). Please note that I did not intend for this video to be a definitive guide to voicing! It was basically an experiment caught on film meant to introduce the concept of chemical voicing. I think that voicing is something that is learned through trial and error and experimentation. My current voicing strategy is very different than what is displayed in the video and is hopefully always evolving. In regard to pipettes, I think they're great! My current practice is to use mostly pipettes and to watch how the fluid soaks into the hammer while counting drops. A brush like I'm using in the video probably holds about 10 drops of fluid and is a quick way to apply that amount consistently. I find brushes are also useful in upright pianos where you can apply to the underside and strike point of hammers without removing the action.
Me thinks that this was just done for visitors. As soon as everyone left it was a case of just leave everything exactly as it came out of the machine. Classic chinese factory behaviour.
