Estonia 190 Grand Piano

Our Parlour Grand Pianos are an ideal choice for large livingrooms, music rooms, teachers studios, chamber halls, recording and professional studios. These models meet the most professional and advanced perfomance requirements
    Now, where do we differ from other high-end pianos? Our rich and singing sound.

    Our piano sound idea could be described as somewhat similar to, symbolically, to composer Johannes Brahms: in his piano concertos the piano soloist is part of the romantic orchestral composition. For example, the Brahm's First Piano Concerto, in which the soloist and orchestra are combined with splendidly romantic, rich, and warm sound. The ESTONIA piano sound could well be characterized the same way: uniquely rich and singing.    

    The romantic era is known for its huge concert halls which set entirely new demands for musical instruments. Legendary pianists Liszt, Dussek and others performed in concert halls with several thousand seats and were able to fill the halls with the sound of a single piano as powerful as that made by a symphony orchestra. A resonant melody had emerged in these huge theaters. The piano sound had to have a warm ring, similar to that of the human voice, with special singing element cantabile.

     In order to perceive the sound in its necessary magnificence, the bass of our pianos should be heard as a separate melodic line, whose depth and solidity give the music spatiality and strength. The bass strings manufactured by our factory and the accompanying structural solutions give the piano its sound characteristicsIn order to acquire the necessary depth for romantic music, the body of a Estonia piano is thick and made from strong and rigid wood. The rigid body keeps the energy in the soundboard. The varied thickness in the soundboard design, the correct soundboard crown, and the accurate placement of the bridge - all of these are a part of the secrets of the Estonia sound.

      Listen carefully, the sound of Estonia is uniquely rich and singing.

ESTONIA: the European performance piano.

Purchasing our piano will propel your piano performance from 0-60 in just few seconds! It is the handcrafted, professional instrument with the highest musical qualities.  

 

Our pianos are made of the highest quality European materials, where each component is carefully selected, one by one, as each instrument is truly handmade one by one.  This picture provides a working moment where the highest quality wood is being selected.

Our Iron Plates are made the old-fashioned, European way: sand-cast, thereafter seasoned, and only the best plates are being selected. We have polished finishes, most even surfaces, with modern machinery to make the plates look stunning. Shiny, smooth, and even, they are considered among the best from Europe.   

Thin layers of special Baltic Birch are glued together in a press where they dry for six hours. Then they are taken out to stand for another two weeks. After drying, the wood is shaped according to exact measurements to form the rim. The keyboard, fallboard, legs, keybed and other details are crafted to complete the instrument. Unique, massive support beams add a level of structure well beyond that which is found in other pianos.

Our finishes have ten thick layers of polyester from Austria, providing spectacular and durable results: the finishes are deep, rich, and stunning looking. The ebony polished finish has the magnificently luxurious European shine; the ebony satin/matt finish has its special European elegance.  Please compare to the lacquer finishes of other pianos and you will see the difference.   

Soundboard - creating the rich, romantic and deep sound. These European soundboards are made of the highest quality material possible.

Our craftsmen will now create the magic - the sound that has a long sustain, romantic projection, controlled and responsive colors. There are so many nuances to the craft, and most of it we want to keep secret!   

The soundboard is covered with the bridge which projects string vibration to the soundboard. Experienced craftsmen set the exact location of the bridge and tuning-pins, as the cuts of the bridge are all handmade. The bridge and its position are measured for each piano individually with special tools.

The Soundboard is glued separately to the inner rim, and then the inner rim is glued to the outer rim. The cast iron plate is now set into the body of the piano. The pin-block is made of Delignite or Dehonit, both imported from Germany, and is set under the cast iron plate and fastened to it.

 

The upper strings are made by Röslau Company in Germany. The bass strings are made by specialist at our factory for maintaining the rich sound. The stringmaker inserts a wire through the hole in the tuning-pin. The machine turns the pin three times, wrapping three wire coils around the pin. Each pin is placed through a hole in the cast iron plate and driven into the pin-block. Our pins are from the Biene Company, Germany.

Our keyboards are handmade in our factory or ordered from the Kluge Company from Germany. They provide that uniquely thrilling and sensitive keyboard touch.

Only RENNER: all models have the full Renner actions assembled at the Renner company in Germany, and have the premium Renner Blue hammers, which create the tone, touch and stability. 

Positioning the keys. Each piano receives the heightened degree of attention to detail that makes your piano performance a pure joy.

Each piano is played and evaluated by a member of the Laul family. Only after such quality control does the piano go back to the final tuning, voicing and regulating.
