So what is you answer？Today we will going to talk about the main piano parts names and their functions of the grand piano.
- Sound Board
The sound board is a paper thin wood panel this is responsible for creating the sound.
- Bass String Bridge
Holds the lower end notes.
Long shaped and carved hardwood rails usually maple or other hardwood, which span across the soundboard and guide strings to transfer vibration from strings to the bearing surfaces of the bridge to the soundboard. Bridges are sometimes capped, are notched and are pinned for unison groupings of strings.
- Action Frame
The playing mechanism(s) of the piano.
Action frames have no moving parts. They do their job by being tightly mounted to the piano. The frames hold the various playing assemblies in proper relationship so everything works together.
- Keyboard
There are 88 keys on the keyboard.
- Hammer
A felted mallet which is driven to the strings by the piano action to participate in producing piano sound. Piano hammers have a spring like action due to two present forces: tension and compression. Highly compressed felt is formed around a wood core under tremendous pressure to make piano hammers.
- Cast Iron Harp
Holds together all of the strings,bridges,and pin blocks.
- Treble String Bridge
Holds the higher end notes.
- Tuning Pins
These pins hold the tension from the bridge to the pin block.
- Pedal&Pedal Lyre
Levers which the feet control to either sustain notes being played (right or sustain pedal), soften tone from piano by shifting the action to change hammer contact with strings (the left or Light pedal, or to sustain individual notes being played (the middle or sostenuto pedal).
Why the real piano can make wonderful and incredible sound, this is closely connected with the maintenance of those important piano parts. You can image how difficult for the regular maintenance. With the progress of science and technology, there is a new brand digital piano called flychord on the market now, it use the high technology instead of the complicated action, Same as the traditional piano, also the price is acceptable.
