Upright pianos have a distinct tone that is hard to mistake. Is it the size? The shape of the soundboard? Weβre not sure
but itβs probably a combination of a whole bunch of features. But one thing is certain
and thatβs that nothing evokes that intimate
home piano sound like an upright piano. Thereβs something comforting about the muffled
boxy sound of a upright that you donβt find in a grand.
Best of Both Worlds
The Ningbo Upright is a brand new piano built by one of the most respected chinese piano manufacturers around. Even the most xenophobic piano snobs canβt deny the fact that these are pretty great pianos. It has a perfect blend of that unmistakable upright character
but with a presence and purity that sounds great on pretty much anything you can throw at it.
Powerful
bright low end and clean percussive high end is something you can only get from new strings and hammers combined with a great design
and this piano delivers exactly that.
Technicalities
The Ningbo Upright piano is a 48? Hailun H-1P upright built in Ningbo in 2021. As a new piano
it has brand new parts all around
giving it a solid clean tone up all the way from top to bottom. Our technician made sure it was it tip top shape before sampling to make sure it was at the top of its game. It was sampled in a small living room with 5 stereo microphone positions
carefully placed to get the most out of the piano and the room.
