Understanding the Parts of a Piano

Today Ted and Pat discuss the parts of a piano! It's beneficial to understand what the different mechanisms a piano has to be able to utilize it to the fullest. We can learn from top to bottom and inside why the piano has these specific parts that work together.
Check out our video about piano actions to understand how many factors, such as gravity, can greatly affect what happens inside when you strike the keys.

My piano doesn't have casters, can they attach them or will that compromise the wood?

Hello Ted and Pat, as you may know, the pandemic has impaired the chances of many pianists to visit piano showrooms and try the latest digital or acoustic pianos. It concerns me and many pianists that we are unable to firsthand try/compare/feel/listen the pianos that we want to order online. So I was thinking that maybe you could help us out with a video that explores how the various DigitalPianoActions compare to the actions that are generally found on an UprightPiano or a GrandPiano. Love your videos and I hope that you can help out... Cheers!!

@Kat C Thanks Kat, I saw the video and I am still not satisfied, thats because they only talk about 2 different DigitalPianoActions from 1 PianoManufacturer... the main reason I would want a more extensive/In-depth video is because DigitalPianoActions are getting ridiculously good and similar to UprightPianoActions, this is for 2 reasons, the first reason being that there are DigitalPianoActions that have KeyLengths and PivotPoints that are similar or greater than UprightPianoActions. The second reason being that certain DigitalPianoActions have Hammers that return to Initial/Resting Position with gravity, just like in GrandPianoActions. All of this is regardless of material, which is also improving in the digital pianos. I hope that you agree with my reasons Kat... Cheers!!

Bösendorfer use the rim to produce sound and they have thinner rim. Floating soundboard also have an impact on the thickness of the rim.
The quality of the hammers have an important "impact" on the quality of the piano and it's life span.
The felt used across the piano is, IMO, undervalued. It makes a world difference for the life of the instrument
And last, the strings sizing. That's something else that needs to be look at. It's linked directly to the scaling of the instrument.
