88 Keys: The Making of a Steinway Piano
by Miles Chapin (Author), Rodica Prato (Illustrator)
Book description
The piano may well be the world's most versatile instrument, and the
Steinway is the United States's most celebrated manufacturer. This handsome
volume takes you inside the process of building a Steinway, from the
selection of the woods (yellow birch, sugar maple, sugar pine, yellow
poplar, Sitka spruce, and, for the exteriors, various hardwoods) through the
construction of the soundboard and keyboard, from the manufacture of the
piano's rim and case through the building of the metal harp that holds the
strings, and to the final assembly and finishing. Along the way are sections
on history and physics (good tone doesn't just happen) and a useful
glossary. 88 Keys is a fascinating and eminently readable book for anyone
with an interest in the art of the piano.
Hardcover: 143 pages.

Citation Details: Title: Advancing the art of piano building. (Schimmel

Publisher: Music Trades Corp. Volume: v140 Issue: n11 Page: p82(4)
Distributed by Thomson Gale Excerpt: Piano Designs Haven't Changed Much, But
At Schimmel Piano The Computer Is Dramatically Changing The Way They Are
Built In the 272 years since Bartolomo Cristifori of Florence fitted a
harpsichord with buckskin hammers, thereby creating the first piano, the
instrument has undergone a dramatic evolution. The first 200 years of the
piano's existence witnessed a succession of design improvements that yielded
an increasingly powerful and responsive instrument. For the better part of
the 20th century, though, piano design has remained constant, and piano
makers and designers have turned their energies towards improving the
manufacturing process.

Automatic Pianos: A Collector's Guide to the
Pianola, Barrel Piano, & Aeolian Orchestrelle by
Arthur W. J. G. Ord-Hume (Author)
Book description
The era of the self-playing or automatic piano embraced the first three
decades of the 20th century. Piano-playing cabinets were followed by the
pneumatic player-piano, soon to be known the world over by the name of the
leading American make - Pianola. There were many other makes, of course,
with names like Kastonome, Triumph, Pistonola, Claviola, Autoplayer and
Apollo. Invented almost simultaneously in Germany and America, player pianos
became the most sought-after addition to the family home and the huge
industry that built them and made their perforated paper music rolls became
both important and wealthy. This book, written by a world-renowned authority
on mechanical music and its instruments, relates the development of the
automatic piano from the spring-powered dulcimer-playing musical clocks of
the 16th century through the once-popular barrel-playing pianos and street
pianos to the great era of the Reproducing Piano that could bring a famous
artist's interpretation of a musical classic into your own drawing-room. The
inventors, their perpetual quest for perfection, and their successes and
failures are related in this new and fully-illustrated history. Just how the
automatic piano works is described in both words and the author's own clear
line-drawings, together with 603 b/w and 43 full colour photos. Also, a
guide to servicing, maintaining, and playing player pianos and the
magnificent Aeolian Orchestrelle roll-playing reed organ is included.
Illustrated appendices include a list of makers, brand-names, and a
modern-day valuation guide. 43 color and 603 b/w photos Index

Catalogue of Musical Instruments in the Victoria
and Albert Museum. Part I : Keyboard Instruments. Part II: Non-Keyboard
Instruments by Howard Schott (Author), Anthony
Baines (Author), James Yorke (Author), Victoria and Albert Museum (Corporate
Author)
Book description
This is a single-volume reissue of the catalogues of keyboard and
non-keyboard musical instruments in the Victoria and Albert Museum. It
covers all the musical instruments in the V&A's collection, reissued with
additional entries covering three important recent acquisitions of keyboard
instruments. Each instrument is fully described and illustrated and an
updated bibliography and notes have been added for this edition. The V&A
holds the National Collection of Musical Instruments, which was started in
1851 following the Great Exhibition. The instruments were collected as works
of art, and among them are examples of early stringed, keyboard and wind
instruments. This catalogue should be a useful resource for scholars and for
anyone with a serious interest in the history of musical instruments. The
pieces are fully documented, with detailed descriptions of makers,
techniques and provenance.

Five London Piano Makers: Brinsmead, Challen,
Collard, Danemann, Welmar by Alastair Laurence
Book description
Pianos were made in London for two hundred years, in factories and workshops
scattered among the houses in residential districts. This book tells the
story of five well known firms. Collard & Collard were direct descendants of
illustrious eighteenth-century harpsichord makers; Brinsmead, Challen and
Danemann had their origins in the vigorous commercial life of
nineteenth-century London; Welmar brought to success a manufacturing venture
begun in the difficult times of the nineteen-thirties. All five declined in
the late twentieth century, and by 2004 all had closed. This is both a human
and a technical history. A host of characters inhabit its pages: the bosses,
nearly all of them with direct hands-on experience of work in the factory;
the craftsmen, whose skill and experience were the principal asset of each
firm; and the designers, on whose technical understanding and innovative
flair the success of the enterprises depended. The author knew many of these
people personally, and the book contains many details which are based on
their first-hand accounts. Dr Alastair Laurence is himself a piano maker. He
has first-hand knowledge of several piano workshops, both in this country
and in Norway, and is now the head of the celebrated firm of John Broadwood
& Sons. He is an experienced and engaging writer, and author of a number of
books on piano subjects and local history. 49 black-and-white illustrations

Physics of the Piano by
Nicholas J. Giordano Sr
Book description
Why does a piano sound like a piano? A similar question can be asked of
virtually all musical instruments. A particular note - such as middle C -
can be produced by a piano, a violin, a clarinet, and many other
instruments, yet it is easy for even a musically untrained listener to
distinguish between these different instruments. A central quest in the
study of musical instruments is to understand why the sound of the "same"
note depends greatly on the instrument, and to elucidate which aspects of an
instrument are most critical in producing the musical tones characteristic
of the instrument. The primary goal of Physics of the Piano is to
investigate these questions for the piano. The explanations in this book use
a minimum of mathematics, and are intended for anyone who is interested in
music and musical instruments. At the same time, there are many insights
relating physics and the piano that will likely be interesting and perhaps
surprising for many physicists.

Piano: The Making of a Steinway Concert Grand
by James Barron (Author)
Book description
The gestation period for a $100,000 Steinway concert grand piano is 11
months, give or take a few days, though that's counting neither the journey
of the timber from the forest nor the shopping and bargaining trip made by
Steinway's shrewd purchasing agent to buy the wood. Adding those into the
total and season with the fact that Steinway pianos are still made in
basically the same way and in the same place since the 1880s, and you have
the makings of a delectable book. In the hands of veteran New York Times
staffer Barron, who followed the step-by-step process as concert grand K0862
grew and took shape from its first 17 strips of maple to its final staining,
tuning, and polishing, the story becomes greater than a mere chronicle of a
manufacturing procedure. For it turns out that these exceedingly complex
instruments known as Steinways have an equally complex backstory that
encompasses the lives of the people who build and have built them and the
politics of a very competitive industry.

Patent Office and the patent libraries scattered across the country comprise
an unmatched repository of technological information. Some of it is
monumentally important, and some amusingly trivial. The several million
United States patents granted over the last two centuries represent a unique
record not only of technological innovation, but also of a particular kind
of human fantasy, hope, and ambition. In Piano-Beds & Music by Steam, Jean
Bonin lists all United States patents relating to music issued between the
creation of the United States patent system in 1790 and the publication of
the patent office's first subject matter index in 1874. In that time 156,000
patents were granted. Bonin finds among them a total of 1…

The Early Pianoforte (Cambridge Musical Texts and
Monographs) by Stewart Pollens
Book description
This is the first comprehensive historical and technological study of the
pianoforte based on important primary source material. Most histories of the
piano begin with its invention by Bartolomeo Cristofori in Florence in about
1700: this study begins with the earliest fifteenth- and sixteenth-century
manuscript sources and extends over Cristofori’s rediscovery of the
principle of the hammer action, the early exportation of Florentine
pianofortes to prominent European courts, and the building of copies of
these instruments in Portugal, Spain and Germany. Technical information is
presented in a comparative format and the text is illustrated with many
photographs, measurements, line drawings and tables. While written primarily
for the technical specialist, there is much here of significance for the
history of the piano and performance practice.

The Equal Beating Temperaments: A handbook for
tuning harpsichords and fortepianos, with tuning techniques and tables of
fifteen historical temperaments by Owen Jorgensen
(Author)
Book description
A handbook for tuning harpsichords and fortepianos, with tuning techniques
and tables of fifteen historical temperaments. While one can purchase
electronic tuning aids that provide most of the useful temperaments in this
book, one does, by learning to set them by ear, open up a vast field of
possibilities. Good harpsichords simply sound best when tuned in a favorable
temperament and equal temperament ain't it.

The Piano by Phillip R.
Belt, Stanley Sadie.
Book description
The New Grove Piano begins by tracing the history of the instrument from the
earliest pianos of Cristofori in 1698 to the modern concert grands of today
and even the 'prepared' piano of John Cage. This is followed by a chapter on
piano playing (including a section on jazz piano) and a survey of pianists,
with separate sections on the main national schools (Slavonic, German,
French) and on living pianists, discussing their style and influence.
Finally there is a chronological account of the instrument's repertory-from
the Classical sonatas of Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven through, the Romantic
miniatures of Schumann and Brahms and the virtuoso showpieces of Liszt and
Ravel, to the complex contemporary works of Boulez and Stockhausen.

The Piano: An Encyclopedia (Encyclopedia of
Keyboard Instruments) by Robert Palmieri (Author)
Book description
The Encyclopedia of the Piano was selected in its first edition as a Choice
Outstanding Book and remains a fascinating and unparalleled reference work.
The instrument has been at the center of music history with even composers
of large symphonic work asserting that they do not write anything without
sketching it out first on a piano; its limitations and expressive capacity
have done much to shape the contours of the western musical idiom. Within
the scope of this user-friendly guide is everything from the acoustics and
construction of the piano to the history of the companies that have built
them. The piano-lover might also be surprised to find an entry for Thomas
Jefferson, and will no doubt read intently the passages about the changing
history of the piano's place in the home. Uniformly well-written and
authoritative, this guide will channel anyone's love for the instrument,
through social, intellectual, art history and beyond into the electronic
age.

The Wonders of the Piano
by Catherine C. Bielefeldt
Book description
This is the best book I have seen on the piano as an instrument, how it is
manufactured, and the history of the piano. Catherine Beilefeldt is deeply
involved in a piano restoration company south of Chicago, and the Piano
Technician's Guild maintains very close contact with her. This book is used
by Guild members as a text book in training curricula. Catherine held three
positions with Steinway in her earlier days, and Steinway made a great
resource contribution to this book.
