Key Features:
Design & Sound:Â The UP-132E features a solid (not laminated) tapered spruce soundboard that allows for greater vibration and sonority. It utilizes a lower-tension string scale, which contributes to a longer-sustaining, warmer, and fuller tone.
Â
Action & Build:Â It is built with “all-wood” action parts (no plastic) and features Steinway-designed hammers. Five massive, staggered backposts support the backframe, ensuring structural stability and consistent tuning.
Pinblock:Â The exclusive Octagrip™ pinblock is crafted from 11 layers of hard-rock maple glued at 60-degree grain angles, designed to keep tuning pins tight for greater stability under tension.
Â
Case & Hardware:Â The piano typically features a European-style cabinet with a high-polish ebony finish, solid brass hardware, and a soft-fall fallboard.
