Features
A Steinway-Designed Piano
Designed by STEINWAY & SONS, employing the unique patents and expertise that have made the name of STEINWAY synonymous with musical excellence.
Features
Steinway Designed Action
Essex grand hammers are specified by Steinway using German-made hammer felt and hornbeam mouldings. The Essex action is made of wood (not plastic) and is characterised by a faster repetition, allowing the musician to play with maximum expression and control.
Steinway Designed Rim Shape
The rim contributes to the stability of the piano, offering support for the soundboard. The Essex grand piano outer rim is made of laminations of European Maple (Acer platanoides) while the inner rim is made of laminated European Beech (Fagus sylvatica).
Wide-Tail
The wide-tail design featured on all Essex grands is a special innovation by Steinway & Sons that creates 6% more surface area in the soundboard. This enriches the sound, giving the pianist the impression of playing on a larger instrument. The larger soundboard area also allows for better placement of the bass bridge – which yields more volume, greater tone, and a bass that sings.
Steinway-Designed Pinblock
Essex pinblocks are made using hard maple wood. The multi directional layers of wood grips the pins from several directions, assuring a tight fit, uniform pressure and smoother tuning.
