Construction of our Grand Pianos
6) Membrator groove
Optimises the acoustic properties of the soundboard and thus the transparent sound that is characteristic for Seiler.
4) Action
Made from around 6.000 wooden, metal, leather and felt parts. Designed state-of-the-art for professional exigencies.
3) Tuning block
Made of cross-glued, multi-layer beech wood. Provides high stability and strong support for the string tension, which leads to an especially good stability of the tuning.
1) Frenator soft-close system
Allows smooth automatic closing of the fallboard and therefore avoids damages or injuries by a fallboard dropping shut.
2) Key-bed
Made of massive spruce. Its three-layer construction provides long-lasting stability and thus a permanently precise functioning of the action.
9) Back posts
Made of massive spruce, wedge-glued. Strut the framework, the so-called rim, which serves as a stable support for the soundboard.
5) Soundboard support
Made with glued-in ribs. Thanks to its design with a curve, a connection is created that offers the soundboard best resonance conditions.
7) Soundboard
Made from mountain spruce with especially fine grain. It is glued to the rim in a slight curve to obtain some tension and amplifies the vibrations of the strings.
8) Ribs
Made of spruce with standing growth rings. Each of these ribs has a specific form, which adds to the membrane effect of the soundboard.
10) Bridge
Made from beech with a top layer of maple. Provides a tight fit of the bridge pins and a precise transmission of the strings’ vibrations to the soundboard.
15) Keyboard
Made of best fine spruce. The link between player and instrument that transmits all emotions and powers.
14) Rim
Made of 3mm beech veneer stripes, torsion-free bonding. The rim is the frame of a grand piano. It connects the instrument’s parts and gives it its shape.
13) Cast-iron frame
Made of high-grade cast iron (DIN1691/GG20) that does not create unwanted sounds and is capable of resisting the huge string tension of more than 20 tons without bending.
12) Tone Volume Stabiliser
Creates a permanent longitudinal curve. Improves richness and projection of our sound, optimises and preserves the elasticity of the soundboard.
11) Outer rim
Made of 2,4 mm mahogany veneer stripes. Does not only provide the instrument’s nice outward appearance, but also influences its sound.
Construction of our Upright Pianos
6) Pressure rod
Made of chromium-plated brass. Creates the necessary pressure of the string to the capo and assures good tuning even after long years.
4) Moderator
Moves a piece of felt between the hammers and the strings so that the strings can only produce a muffled sound.
3) Super-Magnet-Repetition (SMR)
Ensures an unsurpassed repetition speed for uprights; Enjoy playing like on a grand piano – no wearing off, no maintenance.
1) Pedal assembly
Allows precise and noiseless use of the three pedals. Thus, the sound of your Seiler piano will not be affected even when playing very soft.
2) Action
Made from around 6.000 wooden, metal, leather and felt parts. Designed state-of-the-art for professional exigencies.
9) Bridge
Made of massive beech. Connects the strings to the soundboard. We carefully select and position the wood to obtain an ideal transmission of the string’s energy.
5) Cast-iron frame
Made of high-grade cast iron (DIN1691/GG20) that does not create unwanted sounds and is capable of resisting the huge string tension of more than 20 tons without bending.
7) Soundboard
Made from mountain spruce with especially fine grain. It is glued to the rim in a slight curve to obtain some tension and amplifies the vibrations of the strings.
8) Bass bridge
With laminated bridge for a better transmission of the low-pitched sounds to the soundboard. So you can hear very clear and powerful bass tones.
10) Soundboard support
Made of laminated wood with notches for the ribs and a special bevel for the curving of the soundboard that guarantees best resonance conditions.
12) Tuning block
Made of cross-glued, multi-layer beech wood. Provides high stability and strong support for the string tension, which leads to an especially good stability of the tuning.
11) Back posts
Made of massive spruce, wedge-glued. Strut the framework, the so-called rim, which serves as a stable support for the soundboard.
