The manufacturing starts with the heating and molding of the acrylic for both the inner and the outer rim. Once the acrylic is cooled to room temperature, the supporting beams are assembled and glued in the inner rim. The soundboard and cast iron frame are then fitted on this inner rim which will support the soundboard and the frame, the basic structure of a grand piano. Blüthner´s 18 layers pin block is placed underneath the front part of the frame where the holes for the tuning pins are being drilled and installed. The frame provides the necessary strength to anchor the strings under tension. Nose bolts and perimeter bolts anchor the plate to the braces, whether wood or acrylic, and the inner rim. The piano is then being stringed using Blüthner’s patented Aliquot stringing method. Keys, hammers and piano action as a complete playing mechanism is being introduced on the key bed and placed underneath the strings. These will be adjusted and the first tuning of the piano can start. The final assembling of all parts will take place followed by the polishing of the instrument. Each Blüthner Crystal Piano undergoes an exhausted quality inspection by Blüthner´s engineers before being regulated, intonated and at least some 7 more fine-tunings. Prior exposure in the show room, a final inspection is being done before delivery.
Blüthner guarantees you: production quality and product authenticity.
Depending on customization the entire manufacturing process takes between 3 to 5 months.
