Boston’s integrated design
The Plate
Every single piece of the piano vibrates while being played – except the plate, which is dedicated to a single function: ensuring tonal stability. Thanks to a special grey-iron material developed by Steinway and Sons – and its special vacuum fabrication – the plate can withstand the enormous string tension of several tones.
The Hammers
Each of the 88 keys of a grand or upright piano transmits its movement to a small, felt covered wooden hammer which strikes one, two or three strings. In 1880, Steinway and Sons introduced pear shaped hammers with reinforced shoulders and metal ligatures to ensure superior stability and a more powerful sound. This exclusive Steinway and Sons design is also part of the Boston grand and upright pianos.
The Action
No other component of a grand or upright piano is as critical to playing performance as the ‘action’. Only a flawlessly made action can offer the piano player the greatest level of expressiveness. The Boston action is based on the exclusive design of Steinway and Sons. It is made of wood and is characterized by faster repetition, better stability and heightened responsiveness which gives the player better control. The rosette – shaped, extruded aluminum action rail results in increased stability and less frequent regulation.
The Duplex Scale
One of the most famous inventions of Steinway and Sons, the 1872 duplex scale provides Boston grand pianos with full, beautiful sustained tone. The Boston duplex scale adds a harmonic richness of tone and a variety in sound to the instruments. Once lauded by the well known physicist and acoustics specialist Herman von Helmholtz. Every owner of a Boston grand piano can enjoy the richer tone and longer sustain made possible by the Boston duplex scale.
The Bridges
The soundboard bridges of the Boston grand and upright pianos are based on the same soundboard bridges first patented by Steinway and Sons in 1880. They are made of vertically laminated hard rock maple with a solid maple cap which allows for optimum sound transmission. The result is better sound and increased volume.
The Soundboard
The soundboard is the soul of the instrument. Therefore, it is essential to pay the closest attention to the construction and the selection of the materials. Only the finest, straight grained Sitka spruce, with a minimum of 8 annual growth rings per inch, is used to construct the Boston piano’s soundboard. Based on a Steinway and Sons design from 1936, the Boston soundboard is not uniformly thick, but rather is tapered to vibrate more freely and provide more volume.
The Wide-Tail design
All Boston grand pianos share the ‘wide-tail’ design. This innovation by Steinway and Sons makes a wider case possible, to create a bigger soundboard area, giving the piano player the impression of playing on a larger piano. The result will please both the player and the listener with a richer sound.
