| Bridges |
| The bridges are hand made and pinned;
manufactured of hard maple according to a special vertical lamination
process with a high grade, quarter-sawn maple cap. |
| Sound
Board |
| The sound board is made of clear,
close-grained, quarter-sawn, solid spruce. It is varied in thickness by
reason of acoustical design. The ribs are of select, quarter-sawn
spruce graduated in width and thickness, and feathered for flexibility
and frequency of response. Each rib receives a special individual crown
for its location in the sound board structure. The ribs of the Charles
R. Walter Grand are also unique in their method of being mortised into
the inner rim. This process is individualized for each rib of the
piano, producing the perfect balance of stiffness and flexibility
required in every square inch of sound board. The exclusive sound board
design gives a very even tone from low bass to high treble. |
| Strings |
| The treble strings and
the core wires of the wrapped strings are of the highest grade music
wire. The wrappings of the strings are solid copper wire. String length
and diameter of inner and outer wraps are all carefully computed to
achieve the very smooth inharmonicity scale so characteristic of all
Walter pianos. The longest speaking length of the W190 Grand is 57
1/2". |
