scott,
your piano has the very best of everything.  the hammers are abel hammers from germany.  the strings are roslau strings from germany,
the soundboard is the highest grade solid spruce avalible. here is the speck sheet on your piano.

construction of rawlings pianos

soundboard and ribs
all soundboards of rawlings pianos are made of the highest grade white sitka spuce from alaska. the ribs are heat-crowned perpendicular to the soundboard grain to facilitate efficient distribution of vibrations.

back posts
multi-laminated back posts maintain the structural integrity of each piano, and offset the enormous pressure (over 20 tons) exerted by the string tension, in addition to improving tuning stability.
pinblock
rawlings pianos use delignit maple pinblocks from west germany,   these densified pin blocks have age and wear-resistant characteristics superior to those made of other materials.

touch consistency
each key stick is lead-weighted and balanced to ensure perfect touch and control. consistency of touch across the entire keyboard offers ease of playing without finger fatigue.

concert length keys
rawlings pianos feature full concert length grand piano keys, 1/8" longer than the industry standard. each key stick is made of straight grain white sitka spruce.

highly accelerated actions
all grands have an improved version of the renner action.

cross bars
acousta crossbars are precisely placed diagonal to the ribs, eliminating any undesirable overtones, while producing a brighter tone and longer sustain.

scale design
all pianos use the most famous scales in the world.  (german)
the superior tone quality of each rawlings piano results from a thorough scientific study of the special requirements of various acoustic elements in the instruments.
elements such as rim, case, plate, soundboard, ribs, bridges, strings, hammers, action, and keys are properly balanced in harmony with each other.

cut-thread tuning pins
tuning pins are blue steel, nickel- plated with reverse-torque cut-threads for superior holding power and great tuning stability. each pin is nickel-plated to resist rust and corrosion.

iron frame
computer-commanded boring mills machine frames. all frames are tempered and seasoned outdoors for six months before final stress tests and installation.  all are wet-sand cast plates.  the plates in the uprights are full-perimeter,

roslau strings
roslau strings rawlings pianos use the world- famous roslau strings music wire from west germany. the under and outer wrappings of the base strings are solid copper wire.

hand notched bridges
bridges for vertical pianos are crafted from 19-ply, quarter-sawn hard rock maple. bridges for grand pianos are also crafted from solid quarter-sawn hard rock maple. each bridge is custom-shaped and cut to conform to the crown of each individual soundboard.

custom crafted hammers
all rawlings hammer felts are made of 100% royal george high-density virgin wool (abel hammers for germany). all felts are moth- and moisture- resistant, and are t-pinned to the hammerhead to prevent separation.

butcherblock keybeds
the interlocking butcherblock keybeds are mounted on a 3-ply cross-laminated tongue and groove base.
keybed-to-string distances remain regular regardless of atmospheric conditions, resulting in a stable, durable action regulation.

tuning regulation, voicing
the highly accelerated action of rawlings pianos is fully regulated during the seasoning and settling period of each piano as a complete unit. each hammer is carefully voiced, tone-regulated to maintain uniform tone level  throughout the entire scale.

polyester finishes
space-age chemistry gives a beautiful polyester base finish to rawlings pianos.
they are completely impervious to water, while exhibiting excellent gloss and color retention.

warranty
all rawlings pianos come with a full 10-year transferable factory warranty.
