Our Soundboards

Our soundboards are made with eastern white spruce personally hand selected for making soundboards of unsurpassed quality and tone. The logs are shipped to the saw mill, where they are cut, seasoned and dried in accordance with traditional piano manufacturing standards. Grain and color are carefully matched for uniformity and tone production.

Please visit our products page. We will have an number of piano related items that you can purchase. These items will be posted soon.

We cater to the requirements of the professional pianist and specialize in instruments used in performance venues and recording studios, as well for the homes of the serious amateur. We are honored that many individuals and institutions have entrusted us with their pianos.
