About PLEYEL Piano About The 1843 PLEYEL The 1843 PLEYEL piano featured in Poetry is a remarkable piece crafted during Chopin's 33rd year. Transported to Japan in its original state from its home in France, meticulous restoration efforts were undertaken. Only consumable parts requiring replacement were sourced locally, while non-consumable components were specially ordered from France. The result is a faithful restoration, preserving the piano in a condition closely resembling its original state from 1843. Features Of PLEYEL The PLEYEL piano carries a notable anecdote tied to Chopin's insistence on retaining the "single action" mechanism. Remarkably, PLEYEL adhered to this method for 14 years following Chopin's passing. In the context of pianos, "single action" implies that the hammers must return to their original position before striking the next key, posing challenges for executing rapid sequences of notes. In contrast, contemporary pianos feature a "double escapement" construction, allowing hammers to strike againy without fully returning to the keyboard. This innovation enables rapid and flamboyant playing, contributing to the finely crafted performance experience found in modern instruments. Indeed, the evolution of pianos has been closely intertwined with changes in performance venues. In the mid-19th century and earlier, large concert halls as we know them today were not prevalent, and salon concerts were the prevailing norm. Paintings from that era often depict scenes of intimate salon settings where musicians, including Chopin, would perform. In these images, one can observe the closeness of the audience, with individuals leaning on the piano, creating an atmosphere of shared musical experiences. As pianos and musical culture evolved, the design and acoustics of concert halls became crucial in accommodating larger audiences while preserving the rich, resonant qualities of the piano in expansive spaces. Indeed, before the advent of the piano, keyboard instruments like the harpsichord and pipe organ were prominent. The harpsichord, while capable of producing sufficient volume for orchestral use, posed challenges when played at lower pitches. Its inherently loud nature made it less suitable for the more intimate settings of salons. In response to this, the 'fortepiano,' which later evolved into the piano, was introduced. The fortepiano addressed the volume issue by incorporating a hammer action mechanism, enabling it to produce both strong and soft notes. This innovation allowed musicians to play at varying volumes, a crucial development for performances in smaller venues like salons. During this period, the ability to control and play at a low volume was highly valued, marking a significant shift in the evolution of keyboard instruments. The PLEYEL, distinguished by its thoughtful design, features a mute plate that serves to modulate the volume across registers. Specifically, it reduces volume in the middle and lower registers while allowing a crescendo towards the upper registers, fostering a harmonious musical balance. Even with these considerations, the PLEYEL is renowned for its capacity to articulate music with delicate expression, emphasizing nuanced subtleties rather than sheer fortissimo power. It stands as a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship dedicated to creating an instrument that resonates with beauty and musical sensitivity Features/Specs Color Poetic Brown (Wood-Grain Pattern) Keyboard RH3 (Real Weighted Hammer Action 3) 88Keys (A0-C8) Touch Curves Five Available Pitch Control Transpose, Master Tuning Temperament Three Types Sound Generation Stereo PCM System Polyphony 120 Tones (Max) Sounds 30 Sounds (10 X 3 Banks) Effects Brilliance, Reverb, Chorus (3 Levels Each) Recorder Tow Parts, Maximum 14,000 Notes(Approximately 100 KB) Demo Songs 60(Sound Demo Song X 10, Choin’s Piano Songs X 50) Metronome Tempo, Time Signature, Accent, Sound And Volume Controls Pedal Damper, Sostenuto, Soft 　 (:Half-Pedaling Supported) Connections Line Input, Headphones X 2, MIDI (IN,OUT), Pedal, Speaker Controls Power, Volume, Piano Song, Transpose, Function, Touch, Brilliance, Reverb, Chorus, Bank, Sound X 10 Display, +, -, Metronome, Play/Pause, Stop, Record, Part1, Part2 Wireless Method Bluetooth（A2DP Sink） Speakers 10cm X 2 Amplification 25W X2 Power Supply DC 24V Power Consumption 18W Dimensions (W X D X H) 1346 X 347 X 770 Mm / 52.99 X 13.66 X 30.31 Inches 1346 X 347 X 926 Mm / 52.99 X 13.66 X 36.46 Inches (With The Key Cover Opened) Including Items AC Adapter, Dedicated Stand, Piano Performance Sheet Music (23 Chopin Pieces Included) Accessories Piano Bench PC-300 (BR, BK,WH) We are authorized dealers for all these brands.
