The soundboard is the heart of the piano; supurb
tone quality, rich and resonant sound is the fruit of a high-quality,
perfectly constructed board.
Quarter-sawn, fine-grained solid spruce is used
to replace soundboards with cracks and no crown. All new soundboard and ribs are crowned. Each board is dried to insure a minimum
moisture content of 5-6%. A specialty at Reeder Pianos, the art of
soundboard construction and installation has been studied and perfected
in the restoration center.
As a critical part in determining the longevity
of the piano, the pinblock must be strong enough to tolerate 20 tons
of string pressure and to hold the pins tightly.
Highest quality multi-laminate maple or beech is used
to replace worn and cracked pinblocks.
