@WorldArchaeolo1 @pianistmagazine Yes, it really sounds beautiful and present in the same way as a grand piano.

We're overturning ~200 years of history by shedding cast iron from our piano. Turns out Alpheus Babcock, a Boston piano maker, patented his cast iron string frame in 1825. Cast iron's been used in all mainstream pianos since.
Bring on modern materials!

Another favourite photo of our extremely exciting piano build: the bridge construction. There's so much craftmanship (esp with David Klavins!) that goes into a piano. We're lucky to be combining trad skills w the latest #materials & #innovation. @KlavinsPianos

Our founder @sarahpiano on @bbcglos today talking about the #piano, Women in Innovation, her @innovateuk #WomenInnovate award and how women are currently under-represented in #innovation and #business. Only 8% of patents have women named on them; Sarah is in that group!

This is my favourite photo of the beautiful #StandingGrand piano that brilliant, talented & pioneering @KlavinsPianos is currently building for us @futurepianoltd. Stunning craftsmanship alongside innovative engineering; lustrous wood patterns next to shiny carbon fibre. #piano

We saw @houghhough in a brilliantly evocative recital @Sage_Gateshead recently. Hall 1 has an incredible acoustic and Stephen maximised the dynamic possibilities. Starting w Mompou was immediately immersive. Beautiful.

@SteinwayAndSons Love this anecdote! Just seen the only survivor of your 5 uprights designed for ocean liners: the other 4 are at the bottom of the sea. @besbrodepianos #piano

[Future Piano Ltd @futurepianoltd]

An impromptu visit today to @besbrodepianos in #Leeds for some #piano #design inspiration. Look at these incredible variations! #Materials including aluminium, formica. One designed to look like a radio.
