A New Grand Piano May Be More Accessible Than You Think
Choosing a grand piano is about much more than its name or appearance. The design of the instrument, the length and arrangement of its strings, the size of its soundboard and the quality of its final preparation all influence the sound and playing experience.
The FEURICH grand piano range offers impressive tonal depth, responsive actions and carefully considered European piano design—all in a completely new instrument covered by a 5-year manufacturer’s warranty.
Individually Prepared and Voiced in Vienna
Every FEURICH grand piano supplied by MaltaPianos is individually prepared, regulated and voiced in Vienna by experienced FEURICH concert technicians.
Voicing involves carefully adjusting the hammers so that the piano develops an even, expressive and musical character across the entire keyboard.
The result is the distinctive FEURICH sound:
✓ A warm and refined European tone
✓ A deep, dark and controlled bass
✓ A clear but never harsh treble
✓ Smooth transitions between registers
✓ Greater tonal colour from pianissimo to fortissimo
This final preparation is particularly important. Two pianos of the same model can develop slightly different characteristics, so each instrument is prepared individually rather than simply being removed from its packaging and delivered.
A Larger Sound Without an Oversized Instrument
One reason FEURICH grand pianos can sound larger than their physical dimensions suggest is the intelligent design of the tail, string scale and soundboard.
Models such as the FEURICH 179 Dynamic II feature a notably broad construction and extended soundboard surface. This provides more resonating area and allows the bass section to be designed for greater depth, sustain and tonal authority.
The result is a deep and sonorous bass normally associated with considerably larger—and often substantially more expensive—grand pianos.
Even the compact FEURICH 162 Dynamic I has been designed to produce a remarkably complete bass register for an instrument measuring only 162 cm in length.
This makes the FEURICH range especially interesting for pianists who want a rich grand-piano sound without needing the space required for a full concert grand.
Rust-Resistant Paulello Strings
Selected FEURICH grands use premium rust-resistant Paulello string wire.
The strings are one of the piano’s most important sound-producing components. They remain under enormous tension throughout the life of the instrument and directly influence clarity, sustain and tuning stability.
Paulello string wire offers:
✓ Greater resistance to corrosion and humidity
✓ Improved tonal purity and clarity
✓ Excellent longevity
✓ A clean and well-defined bass response
This is particularly valuable in Malta’s humid climate, where ordinary steel strings may be more susceptible to surface corrosion over time.
Duplex Scaling—Why It Matters
FEURICH also uses duplex scaling on selected grand-piano models.
Besides the main speaking length that produces the note, carefully calculated additional sections of the treble strings are allowed to resonate sympathetically.
These extra vibrations enrich the sound with natural harmonics, giving the treble:
✓ Greater brilliance and sparkle
✓ More sustain
✓ Richer tonal colour
✓ A more open and singing quality
It is a technical detail that may not be immediately visible, but it becomes noticeable when listening to the piano’s resonance and tonal complexity.
The Reassurance of Buying New
A well-maintained pre-owned grand piano can certainly be a good instrument. However, choosing a new FEURICH removes much of the uncertainty surrounding an instrument’s previous history.
With a new FEURICH, you receive:
✓ A completely new action, strings, hammers and soundboard
✓ No unknown history of intensive use, storage or previous repairs
✓ No hidden wear that may require early restoration
✓ Individual preparation and voicing before delivery
✓ The full working life of the instrument ahead
✓ A 5-year manufacturer’s warranty
When the price difference between a pre-owned grand and a brand-new instrument is considered, a new FEURICH can represent exceptional long-term value.
