The main components of Xinghai brand piano are string tensioning part, keyboard machinery, pedal mechanism and shell.
The string part is the pronunciation of the piano. The strings transmit vibration to the resonance board through ignition, producing pleasant sound. The length, thickness and tension of strings determine the fundamental frequency of sound vibration and produce rich overtones. In order to maintain good pitch stability and sound quality, the tension part of strings can be tuned by adjusting the chord axis. Piano range is from A2 to C5 according to international standards, with ***88 keys.
Keyboard machine is an intelligent transmission system composed of keys, connecting rods, rotary hammers, hammers and dampers. It can quickly convert the finger's playing force on the keys into the hammer's hitting force on the strings, and has many functions that can change the expressive force according to the needs of the players. The transmission performance of keyboard machinery determines the sensitivity and touch of the player.
Pedal mechanism can change the sound intensity, * * * sound and sustain sound. Equipped with three pedals. When you step on the right pedal, all the dampers will be lifted, and all the strings will sound with the struck strings. Step on the left pedal to shorten the travel distance and reduce the volume. Step on the pedal and put down the mute felt to reduce the volume and influence on the outside world during practice.
The shell, with solemn and generous shape and gorgeous decoration, plays the role of firmly connecting all parts and has the function of a speaker. The piano shell is made of precious wood such as mahogany, walnut, walnut, teak and manchurian ash, which has different aesthetic texture. Coated with wear-resistant and high-temperature resistant unsaturated resin paint. Paint can be divided into two types: bright and matte. Mirror-like light and uniform matte bring different styles to the shell decoration, which can meet the aesthetic needs of users with different tastes.
Piano history
Piano forte or forte Piano, abbreviated as Piano, is a keyboard instrument, which uses the keys to pull the hammer and beat the strings. Since the end of18th century, the piano has been the most important keyboard instrument in Europe and America. Piano originated in Europe. /kloc-At the end of 0/7th century, an Italian named Barto Lomeo Christofi invented a keyboard instrument similar to the modern piano. It has a history of more than 300 years.
History of piano development:
1. Early keyboard instruments
Harpsichord and clavichord (harpsichord)
From the end of16th century, harpsichord and clavichord gradually became popular, and were not replaced by piano until the end of18th century.
The clavichord, also known as the harpsichord, is one of the early keyboard instruments, which appeared in15th century. It consists of a rectangular box with no feet, which can be played on the table. Although the appearance is the same as that of the harpsichord, it is not plucked, but struck with a hammer. This device is similar to a modern piano, but the device is simple, the volume is weak and the timbre is not very bright.
B. harpsichord and clavichord have completely different sound principles. It is an extremely ornate musical instrument, similar in appearance to today's grand piano, with two or three keyboards. The sound of the harpsichord is made by plucking the strings, clear and sharp. Unfortunately, unlike the piano, it is easy to become intermittent.
2. Piano development process
The piano was invented by Italian Bartolomeo Christofi in about 1709. From the development history of keyboard instruments, the structure of modern piano (Pianoforte short) evolved from the harpsichord and clavichord, the predecessors of piano. Christopher called his piano "the king of piano". From these words, we know the origin of ——pianoforte, the early name of piano.
3. Modern piano
There are two main forms of modern piano: one is upright piano and the other is grand piano. There are upright pianos with standard and small sizes in upright houses, while grand pianos have many sizes, from the smallest to the grand pianos used in concerts. Early pianos included long pianos and upright grand pianos. The piano basically has eighty-five to eighty-eight keys, and the piano has two or three pedals. There are two most important ones, one on the right, called the strong pedal, so that all the sound breaking devices can be released, and any string can vibrate freely when it is struck until the pedal is liberated. The one on the left is called a soft pedal, which can make a soft sound.
The main materials of piano
Piano is a kind of expensive musical instrument with complex structure, which mainly includes piano shell, soundboard, keys, strings, hammers, strings nails and so on. The piano shell is made of Indonesian plywood, and the soundboard is made of spruce and pine from Chinese mainland. The strings, hammers and keys are all imported from Germany and Britain, which ensures the quality of the products.
The main structure of piano
1. Pedal:
Refers to the pedal pedal under the piano. It is the most important accessory in the piano except the keyboard. 17 1 1 was invented by Bartolommeo Cristofori, an Italian musical instrument manufacturer, when he reformed the piano. Mainly divided into three parts:
(1) Damper pedal:
It was invented by Englishman John Broadwood in 1783. Usually the right pedal under the piano. When the damper pedal is pressed, the damper, which is usually pressed on the string, rises immediately. Let all the strings vibrate constantly. After the pedal is released, all the vibrators are pressed against the strings to stop pronunciation. Because pressing the brake pedal will amplify the sound of the piano to a certain extent, it is also called the loud pedal.
(2) Soft pedal:
This is a pedal, located at the far left of the bottom of the piano. It has two different functions. In a platform piano, when you step on the soft pedal, the hammer will immediately move to the side, so that it will only strike two or one of the three strings (if there are three strings in each tone, only two strings will be struck; If each tone has only one string, the result of the movement will make the softer part of the hammer touch the string. Turn down the volume and make the sound very pure and soft. In upright piano, when stepping on the soft pedal, all the hammers are close to the strings, so as to reduce the impulse, the length and intensity of the blow, and reduce the volume.
(3) Sound pedal (Sostenuto pedal):
Modern piano is a pedal with special performance in the middle besides voice control pedal and soft pedal. It has the function of making the vibration of sound or string last. However, due to the lack of opportunities to use the sound holding pedal, the structure and function of the existing sound holding pedal have changed. When the pedal of most modern pianos is stepped on, a movable flannel is sandwiched between the hammer and the strings, which makes the volume extremely thin and fuzzy. Generally, it is only used when playing the piano at night or in the early morning, so as not to disturb the peace of neighbors.
2. Tuning pin:
It is a special device that can release heat energy. There are cut fibers on its turntable, so the strings can be firmly wound on the tuning nail, so as to maintain the sound quality.
3. Hammer:
Wrapped in high-quality felt or flannel, this layer of "skin" is mostly made of wool, so it is also called wool hammer. It is attached to the key. When the keys are pressed, the hammer will knock off the strings and make the piano sound through the vibration of the strings. Therefore, its function is to strike the strings fastened by the tuning nails.
4. Muffler:
A damper is attached to the string to stop the vibration of the string. For example, when the keys on the piano are pressed, the hammer inside the piano will knock on the copper strings and make a sound through the vibration of the strings. The function of the silencer is that after the key is pressed,
5. Qin Dan (Action):
The gallbladder connects the keys and the hammer, and it is the soul and the most important accessory of the whole piano.
6. Sound board:
Castanet is a large metal steel plate, located at the back of the piano, attached to the tuning nail and closely attached to the strings. When the strings are vibrated to produce sound, the castanets will make the sound double-ring, that is, the sound is reflected and amplified through the castanets.
7. Keyboard:
The whole key is composed of black keys and white key. By cutting with homogeneous wood blocks, the appearance of the keys is very neat. All keys or black keys have an average size and similar height, which will not make the appearance of keys feel uneven. Both black keys and Bai Jian have undergone rigorous weight and balance tests, which make the piano movements smooth.
Piano selection method
The piano is an expensive musical instrument, so you must be very careful when choosing it. The best way to choose a piano is to pay special attention to six aspects: timbre, touch, tuning stability, durability, appearance and tension.
1. timbre: Choose rich, clear and lasting timbre, with wide dynamic range and harmonious and balanced timbre characteristics in the whole keystroke range. The best piano is that castanets can be designed in a permanent crown shape and protected by several ribs along the whole length, which can prolong the service life of the instrument.
2. Touch: Touch should not only make beginners feel comfortable, but also make accomplished performers feel comfortable. Tiny lead blocks are inserted into the piano to keep the touch balance of the keys. Another key problem to improve the tactile sensation is to adopt an accurate and trouble-free hitting mechanism. If the tolerance of piano parts can reach one hundredth of a millimeter, the result is that the volume can be uniform, the touch can be uniform, and the maintenance times can be reduced.
3. Tuning stability: Every piano should be tuned regularly. One of the reasons why the piano is out of tune is that the strings are too tense? (about 20 tons). Therefore, the back frame structure of the piano should be carefully designed to improve the efficiency of strain resistance and prolong the adjustment interval. The method of adjusting the needle and string can also improve the stability and accuracy of tuning.
4. Durability: I'm afraid there is nothing more durable than a piano in the average family's property, which is why durability is very important for a piano. Everyone hopes that the performance, sound and appearance of the piano will remain unchanged for a long time. The durability of the piano can only be achieved by carefully selecting materials, using advanced production equipment (including the latest scientific data and acoustic expertise) and carrying out extremely strict quality management in the whole manufacturing process.
5. Appearance: Because the piano is often the most eye-catching "furniture" at home, most people attach great importance to the appearance of the piano. Therefore, when choosing a piano, you should first consider the room where the piano will be placed, and then choose the piano style that suits you best.
6. Tension: The strings should be tightened with tuning nails, so that the hammer can make a sound when it hits the strings. Tension refers to the tension of strings.

Piano has a history of more than 200 years. It was first made by Christopher in Florence at the end of 17. 19th century
Famous piano players such as J. Broadwood, S. Ellar, K. Backstam, J. F. bulut Nell and H. E. Steinway.
The piano has been improved in many aspects, such as increasing the volume and the ability to play continuously, expanding the range and improving the mechanical device of the piano.
Modern pianos are mainly divided into upright pianos and grand piano due to their different shapes and volumes. The grand piano used in the concert hall.
It is a giant in musical instruments, 9 feet long and weighing up to 79 tons. The most expensive piano by far is Steinway brand produced by 1888.
Grand piano, 1980 was auctioned at a high price of180,000 in new york.
Piano has always been loved by composers because of its unique timbre and full range of 88 keys. In pop, rock, jazz and
Classical music occupies an important position in almost all musical forms and is known as the "king of musical instruments".
Our piano belongs to Steinway. Here is Steinway's piano.
March 5th, 2003 is the 50th anniversary of Steinway & Sons Company/KLOC-0, a world-famous piano manufacturing pioneer. Henry Steinway founder? Henry e Steinway was born in Wolfshagan, Germany on 1797. 1836, the piano maker who was born as a carpenter magically made his first piano in his kitchen. Today, the piano on display at the Metropolitan Museum of New York is Henry? Steinway's works in those days.
1850, Henry, 53? Steinway moved to new york with his family and founded Steinway with his son three years later. Sons) company, and put forward a purpose: to make the best piano for the world with the greatest possible and hard work. From 65438 to 050, "Steinway" became a model of piano manufacturing with its exquisite and excellent piano making technology. Steinway Piano still sticks to its promise to make high-quality pianos for today's musicians.
Since 1853, "Steinway" has created more than 100 patents in piano manufacturing. Today, the basic structure of Steinway's development and design has become the standard and design guide of modern triangle and upright piano manufacturing industry all over the world. Steinway Piano Company also established a Steinway system according to the most stringent procedures in the piano manufacturing process. Only materials and components that can make the best sound are used, and the wood is only processed under stress, and the pure wood riveting connection structure is adopted. Only in this way can we produce the best sound quality.
In Steinway, a piano maker has to be an apprentice for three and a half years before he can take part in formal piano making. During these three and a half years, 1/4 was spent in piano manufacturing school, and 3/4 was spent in piano factory doing manual work. In order to ensure the quality of the piano, up to now, 80% of Steinway's processing is still hand-made. The pronunciation of the piano has much to do with the direction of wood grain. The texture of the soundboard should be perfectly put together, and the whole process should be completed by experienced masters.
This piano has to be tuned three times before it leaves the factory. These three tuning are direct adjustments to the sound: the first time, the hardness of the hammer is adjusted within a certain range, and sometimes all the hammers are replaced to ensure the sound, although these hammers are extremely expensive. The second tuning is to make the sound natural. The third tuning is to further improve what the previous two can't do. It takes 15-20 hours for three tones. Andhadhun's task is to explore and form the unique personal timbre of each instrument and adjust the feel of the hammer until Steinway's unique personal timbre is fully exerted.
Steinway believes that musical instruments are also alive. Every material on the piano has to be carefully selected. It turns out that the white key is made of ivory, and black keys chose ebony, which grows in Africa. Later, in order to protect wild animals, the white bond was changed into a chemical bond. The advantages of ivory key are good sound vibration, firm sweat absorption, chemical bond wear resistance, no discoloration and long service life. Through continuous technical improvement, chemical bonds have been very close to the advantages of ivory. Steinway is also very picky about the choice of wood. Wood needs to be naturally dried for three years and then electronically dried for 40-50 days. Even so, the final utilization rate of wood is less than 40%. Many parts of the piano are made of wood, and the change of climate directly or indirectly affects the timbre of the piano. Steinway will manufacture pianos in an environment that simulates the climate in a specific area to adapt to the climate in the piano sales area. If the piano is sold to Africa, "Steinway" will simulate the tropical climate of Africa in its production.
Steinway's piano has developed a wide range of musical styles, with almost unlimited colorful timbres. It not only has an ideal timbre suitable for classical music, but also can be used in jazz, rock and pop music. After several generations of testing and confirmation, Steinway piano can still meet the extremely critical taste. Not only do internationally renowned pianists almost use it, but young artists and friends of chamber music also choose Steinway to interpret their music.
"Steinway" has made great achievements in just a few years after its establishment. Since 1859, 500 pianos have been sold every year. Later, in order to expand business and increase production, we moved twice in 1860 and 1872. Currently headquartered in Long Island, USA, Steinway Village is built near the piano factory to provide employees with facilities such as houses and schools.
Today, Steinway has developed from a family business to a major listed company in the American stock market, with more than 65,438+0,000 technicians, adhering to the excellent craft tradition, and ensuring that the vertical production and grand piano are flawless. Since the first grand piano came out, more than 565,000 pianos have been manufactured for customers all over the world. Every Steinway piano has gone through a precise and meticulous manufacturing process, which is very beautiful. No wonder more than 65,438+0,300 pianists and more than 90% concert halls, theaters and opera houses around the world have chosen Steinway grand pianos. For music lovers, owning Steinway piano is their dream.

Ningbo is the birthplace of the first piano in China, and there is also a well-known Helen Musical Instrument Co., Ltd. which produces Helen brand pianos. Therefore, Ningbo people have special feelings for the piano. At the press conference, Fandi's fans flocked to the door, hoping to get a glimpse of him and get his autograph. Di Yun, who is comfortable on the stage on weekdays, seems a little shy in the face of many media reporters and piano fans, and the distance to answer questions is moderate. A reporter asked, "You have studied music since childhood. Do you feel that you have lost your childhood? " YUNDI replied, "Music has brought me happiness and pursuit. The persistent pursuit of piano and art can't be said to have lost anything? " He laughed at the word romance and replied, "I'm not a romantic. I have a normal mentality like everyone else." -A young boy, a good woman. Regarding the girlfriend problem that everyone cares about, he said frankly: "My performance plan has been scheduled for the end of next year. In addition, the most important thing is to practice the piano, and I have no time to take care of other things. If you have any requirements for your future girlfriend, it is to know your friends-know art and music. "
There was a 178 grand piano produced by Helen Musical Instruments at the press conference.

Afterwards, according to Di Yun's father, "YUNDI doesn't have high demands on life on weekdays, but he is very picky about the piano. He can play a whole movement here, which shows that he likes this piano very much! "
Indeed, this piano is specially prepared by Helen Musical Instrument Company, because he communicated with Wendy in advance, and he will sign his name on this piano, and then he and Helen Musical Instrument Company will donate this piano to the Soong Ching Ling Foundation of China.

Director Wang Jianlin said that this piano is of special significance and the Foundation will carefully select the recipients. I wonder whose piano this is?
Di Yun's recital was a great success, with 88 keys like 88 soldiers alive and kicking under his command. He played Mozart's sonata, Schumann's carnival suite and Liszt's sonata, which showed his ability to master various musical styles. In the audience "Chopin!" Chopin! He added Chopin's serenade in E flat major and China's music Sunflower to the member cities. Applause and flowers filled the concert hall and drifted to the raging river. ...
People who play the piano like the piano best, and people who make the piano like the pianist best. Regardless of performance fatigue, Di Yun drove dozens of miles to Helen Products Musical Instrument Company the next morning. Seeing the photos of Helen's piano hanging in the company office and staying in the Vienna Golden Hall forever, seeing that the Danish royal family chose Helen's piano as the royal brand-name product in China, and seeing the medal of the first high-tech enterprise in China piano industry, they repeatedly said: "I can't believe Ningbo can make such a good piano!"
