By starting with a large radius in the treble and steadily reducing it towards the bass, our soundboard is uniquely optimized for both the high frequency of treble notes, which require a stiffer soundboard for clear projection, as well as the low frequency of bass notes, who favor a flexible soundboard for full response. This method allows us to precisely control the shape of each rib, and is what makes our Multi-Radius Crown Soundboard possible. Mason & Hamlin shapes the crown of our soundboards via cutting it directly into the ribs themselves. This shape takes the form of crown, and is what gives a piano its vibrancy, focus, and clarity.
While being constructed from the finest material is an excellent start, a soundboard must be properly shaped to take advantage of its potential. This particular type of tree is ideally suited for its role, and produces the most musical sound of any available material. These characteristics can be attributed to our choice of material-tight-grained, quarter-sawn Eastern White Spruce that is dried and aged to perfection. The Mason & Hamlin soundboard emanates a sound that can be described as both sweet and powerful, melodic and thunderous. It is the very heart of the instrument and essential to the unique voice of each piano. It is a thin, well-crafted piece of wood that, when subjected to vibrations of a string, is capable of producing the air pressure waves that we perceive as sound. The soundboard is the centerpiece of a piano‘s essence. This material is no stranger to fine instruments-Stradivarius used Hard Rock Maple in the back and sides of his violins for its strong, robust qualities. Richard Gertz specifically chose Hard Rock Maple for the Mason & Hamlin rim, and the Model 50 continues this tradition by using Hard Rock Maple for its back and sides.
