The KC173 Grand The Kemble sound
We invite you to enjoy the beautiful Kemble sound of our KC173
Conservatoire grand- the result of a piano making tradition dating back
almost a century. Our tradition is based on craftsmanship, superior
technology, design and the painstaking selection of choice materials.
The KC173 comes with many tone enriching features including a duplex
scale (which tunes the non “speaking” length of the strings and enriches
primary tones with complementary harmonics), and a metal “tone
collector”. The tone collector connects the back posts to the piano
frame, and reflects the sound energy back through the piano case to give
a fuller and more sustained resonance. In addition, the keybed is
incorporated into the sound producing part of the grand and the highest
quality solid spruce tonewood is used to make the soundboard. Lighter
treble hammer shanks (Barrel-shaped) further improve dynamic and tonal
response. Craftsmen sensitively regulate, tune and voice each grand to
obtain the optimum expression.
The Kemble touch
The use of its superb world class action, built to extremely fine
tolerances, combined with individually weighted and laser levelled
spruce keys, produce an extraordinarily responsive instrument, which
will provide years of trouble free playing. A sostenuto pedal comes as
standard.
Comfort and safety
Each KC173 comes with a soft close system for the fall, and a safety
stop for the 3 position prop stick. The music desk is at a comfortable
eye level and has 5 different positions.
Design
Available in classic black polyester, the subtle elegance of the grand
is enhanced with its profiled top, contoured music tray and spade legs.
Durability and tuning stability
Our KC173 is built to provide years of playing pleasure. Its durability
is assured thanks to the use of high quality structural components and
design .The rim is made from layers of select wood glued together in
special hydraulic presses; backposts are set in a radial arrangement and
fitted to the rim with exceptionally strong dovetail joints. Lathe cut,
nickel plated tuning pins are inserted into tuning planks (made from
layers of dense hardwood sealed against humidity changes) in order to
give enhanced tuning stability.
