Living Pianos is proud to be one of the first national piano dealers in the United States. We sell new Weber, Hailun, Flychord and Artesia pianos all over the country and can connect you to local dealers in select areas.

Weber has a unique place in the piano industry offering the American sound at exceptional value. While there are hundreds of new Chinese companies making pianos, Young Chang (a Korean company owned by Hyundai) has been producing pianos since the mid 1900’s. They began by producing pianos for Yamaha decades ago. Then, they produced pianos for Steinway. The Weber line is a premium piano inspired by the great American made Weber pianos from the past.

The Weber piano line is designed by Del Fandrich, one of the most respected piano designers in the world who played an intrinsic role in the development of Baldwin and Charles Walter pianos. There are many unique technologies employed to produce the warm, round American sound of the classic Weber pianos which had their roots in the mid 19th century. Technologies include low tension scale (like Steinway), cold pressed hammers, and AA grade solid sitka spruce soundboards.

Hailun is recognized as one of the 3 most valued brands along with Steinway and Yamaha. They have won awards in national publications such as Musical Merchandise Review Magazine. Hailun pianos have materials and features found in top-tier European pianos such as wet sand cast plate, hardwood rims, and high quality spruce soundboards. All New Hailun Pianos come with a 15-Year Transferable Factory Warranty - the best in the industry!

There was a time in the Golden Era of American pianos before WWII when there were hundreds of piano manufacturers in this country. Today there are only 3 left:

• Steinway which makes a little over 1000 pianos a year
• Mason & Hamlin which produces about 100 pianos a year
• Charles Walter which makes around 50 pianos a year

It can be confusing going to piano stores because there are dozens of American names stenciled on Asian production pianos. If furniture is the most important consideration, these instruments are available for very little money. American pianos cost 5 or 6 times as much as Chinese or Indonesian pianos which look very similar.

So why do people invest so much money for American pianos? There are primarily 2 reasons:

• Quality of sound and touch
• Longevity of investment

Even the best Asian production pianos are best new out of the box. Because of the soft luan mahogany wood indigenous to the region, use of medium density fiberboard and plastic in construction, these instruments are best bought new since their lifespan is limited. Also, because they are available for relatively low cost, rebuilding doesn’t make financial sense for these instruments since replacement costs less than rebuilding.

SOFT WOODS: The body of Asian pianos are made from softer luan mahogany. This is important because the body of the piano supports the soundboard which is essential for good tone.

SOUNDBOARD: The soundboard of the piano is the heart of the instrument. It is the thin wood membrane beneath the strings which is responsible for the tone of the piano. It is like the top of a violin or guitar. Sometimes a sound board will crack and buzzes can occur. Soundboards can often times be repaired. However, this involves rebuilding the piano. Highly skilled piano technicians utilize spruce shims of the same quality as the soundboard which are glued in place, sanded and the entire soundboard is refinished. However, hairline cracks in a sound board are a normal part of aging in most parts of the country. What is essential to a sound board is crown.

CROWN:Soundboards are built into the piano under pressure causing a slight upward arching. This is what enables power and sustain of the tone. In time, soundboards can flatten out and lose crown. In this case, you can rebuild the piano with new strings, hammers and such, but you will never achieve a satisfactory sound. While sound boards can be replaced, it is very expensive. And you end up with essentially a new piano. In fact in parts of Europe, pianos which have replaced soundboards may not legally have the name of the original manufacturer on the front of the piano!

PLATE:There are 2 methods of manufacturing the cast iron plate which supports the 8-14 tons of combined string tension inside a piano.



Wet sand casting: This is the method employed by handmade piano manufacturers like Steinway, Mason & Hamlin as well as the best European and vintage American pianos. It takes approximately 3 months for the metal to cure.Vacuum mold process: A much faster way to make a plate (about 90 seconds) this method is used in the vast majority of Asian production pianos like Yamaha, Kawai and the many Chinese stencil brands with American names on the front.

While the strength of the vacuum mold plates is sufficient to support the string tension, the metal is less dense. As a result, there is a metallic resonance to the sound which pianos with wet sand cast plates don’t have. That is why Yamaha is often the choice of rock and pop artists. The sound will cut through a mix better than a Steinway or other American made piano. However, many classical and jazz artists prefer the warm sound of pianos utilizing wet sand cast plates.
