| Wine box grand piano DIY Kit! |
For a while, apart from perfecting the two sizes of grand pianos, I was busy following up on materials, productions and packaging. Here are the enhancements from the first version:
1/ Tone
Some netizens commented that the tone of the 25-key piano is harsher. The reason is that the first version uses smaller diameter aluminum rods. It results in higher pitch, louder and longer
lingering sound. If you play a longer song, the lingering sounds will become harsh when they overlap. The new version uses bigger diameter aluminum rods. As you can hear from the video,
it produces a lower pitch, softer sound and shorter lingering sound. It appeals comfortably to the ears.
2/ size
The depth of the piano depends on the length of the aluminum rods. The thicker rods in the new version means the length can be shortened proportionally. Therefore, the depth of the piano body
is reduced without compromising the sound quality. It is also less bulky, and occupy less space.
3/ Damper
To resolve long lingering sound, the improved version has included a damper where a note is produced, which can instantly dampen the residual sound. I understand that you would worry if you can build it up yourself. Compared to the accordion, the grand piano does require more time to complete. In addition to the more components, there are also more repeatative steps (such as fitting the keys and threading the aluminum rods). You need some simple carpentry skills. However, it is not as hard as working on the accordion DIY kit in terms of skills, say you don’t need to fold the bellows with precision. All you need is to follow the step-by-step instruction and a little bit of patience!
