THE PRODUCTION - STILL HANDCRAFTED AND TRADITIONAL
No compromises are taken when a Haessler is made. Industrial
production methods are not used to produce a German instrument
that merits that name. The timbers and materials are hand
picked and put together thus producing an instrument of high
standards.
Action and Hammers
The Renner action of the Haessler grand is made using
traditional materials proven for trouble free use completely
devoid of plastic (artificial) materials. This carefully made
and assembled action gives the pianist every advantage to meet
all musical needs. The Abel hammers are fabricated of carefully
selected and processed felt that matches the requirements for
different densities from the lower to the upper notes.
Keys
The keys are made of spruce with acrylic tops and ebony sharps,
weighted individually to produce a responsive touch throughout
the scale.
Soundboard
The soundboard is made from the finest spruce harvested from
the eastern Alps of Austria. Careful attention is given to
grain direction and grain tightness to insure expressive tonal
response. Soundboard crown is precisely formed to provide rich
resonance. Selected hardwoods laminated together to form the
bridge, provide the vital link between soundboard and string
that produces Haessler's colourful tone.
Pin Block and Strings
The pin-block is made of 18 or more layers of compressed
durable beech hardwood, which forms a firm foundation for the
tuning pins. The piano strings are made of special high elastic
steel, precision drawn for evenness in size. Copper wound bass
strings are made in-house to insure high quality and careful
attention to our scale design.
Plate
The iron frame has to take the high tensions of the strings
approaching easily 20 tons. However, it also is an important
decorative part of the instrument. The arts of designing and
engineering have created a form that is appealing to the eye.
The casting is done in gray iron, which is afterwards polished
to its glimmering appearance.
Inner Rim, Cross Rails and Outer Rim
Solid crossbeams made of spruce strengthen the case construction
made of 21 laminations. Solid red beech for extra stability. Made
of many laminations, inner faced with birds-eye maple veneer.
Top and Lid
Fitted with chamfered edging, with 2-stage lid prop.
Legs and Pedals
The leg fittings are of the dove tail system for easy fastening.
Legs are made with solid hard wood with solid brass castors.
Pedals include unacorda, sostenuto, and sustain (3 pedal system).
