Today the popularity of romantic music is rising and there is a great demand for pianos of passionate, rich, and deep tone. ESTONIA, with its romantic sound qualities, is a perfect piano to answer the demands of romantic music. ESTONIA is made by hand - the way pianos were made in their Golden Age during the nineteenth century (1825-1890). It was during this period that pianos became the most popular of all instruments.

This era was known for its huge concert halls which set entirely new demands for musical instruments. For example, Beethoven's piano sonatas are comparable to symphonic music in terms of their length, content and complexity. Legendary romantic pianists such as Liszt, Chopin, Dussek and others performed in concert halls with several thousand seats and were able to fill the halls with the sound of a single piano as powerful as that made by a symphony orchestra.

A resonant melody had to emerge in these huge theaters. The piano's basic sound had to have a warm ring, similar to that of the human voice, and resonate through the thick mass of accompanying strata.

In order to perceive the sound in its necessary maginificance, the bass of ESTONIA pianos should be heard as a separate melodic line, whose depth and solidity give the music spatiality and strength of sound. The bass strings manufactured by ESTONIA and the accompanying structural solutions give the piano a specific, romantic, warm and deep sonority. The pianist is assisted by the light and uniform ESTONIA keyboard when playing rapid passages.

Due to the ESTONIA Grand's excellent sound characteristics, the compositions played by Rahmaninov at the beginning of the 20th century have been reproduced on the ESTONIA piano in England. It is easy to distinguish ESTONIA's unique, lasting tone from the sound of other pianos.

The ESTONIA SOUND comes from the superior soundboard: it is solid and has a high number of long and straight growth rings.


In order to acquire the necessary depth for romantic music, the body of an ESTONIA piano is thick and made from strong and rigid wood. This kind of body adds considerably to the duration of a trilling high sonerity. The rigid body keeps the energy in the soundboard and lets it ring continuously.

The varied thickness in the soundboard design, the correct soundboard crown, and the accurate placement of the bridge-all of these are a part of the secret of the ESTONIA sound.

Listen carefully to the SOUND of our piano, compare it side by side to other piano makes and you will understand and appreciate the difference - the sound of ESTONIA is uniquely romantic, rich and deep.
