PIANO MOVING

Posted on January 25th, 2022

PIANO MOVING

As a piano dealer, we move pianos all the time. Piano moving is not as easy as moving a piece of furniture, a typical upright weighs around 200kgs while a grand weighs around 300kgs. Moving this amount of weight compromises safety without moving experience and tools. Worry no more because our company has invested in the proper equipment for the job to make it easy, fast and safe!

HIRE PROFESSIONALS

Pianos are heavy and fragile, piano moving by yourself may cause injury and damage to a piano. It is advisable to hire a professional in mong a piano for long-distance transport, especially if the piano location or destination is located on higher floors that use stairs. If an elevator is available you are lucky!

PROPER TOOLS

DOLLY

Given the piano weights above, it is unwise to lift a piano from point A to B. Putting the piano on top of the dolly is the most practical and safe way to do it!

CARGO BELT

Investing in a high-quality strap will have a better hold on the piano, on top of the dolly or on the truck. It will prevent unnecessary movements which can prevent damage on the piano action or bumping onto nearby objects. Straps may also be used to pull or lift a piano.

BLANKETS

The first thing to do when preparing a piano for long-distance transport is to wrap it with specialized thick blankets. These blankets will protect the piano from scratches, strap marks and paint chips.

TRUCK

For moving upright pianos and small grand pianos, our company has invested in a pick-up truck. We also invested in closed-van truck for moving bigger pianos such as our Mason and Hamlin CC concert grand.

RAMP

In able to put the piano on the truck, we use a custom ramp to make it easy and safe. Our mover would just glide and pull the dolly up! Then we secure it with a cargo belt and tighten it with the adjuster.

PIANO MOVERS

In moving upright pianos we send three(3) professionally trained piano movers to assist with the moving while four(4) to five(5) movers for grand pianos, depending on the piano’s weight and size.

TUNING

When a piano is moved, tuning will be needed. The piano might be heavy and solid but the internals of a piano are sensitive to movements. We can send our in-house technician to provide tuning service for your piano immediately after moving.

RATES

Do you need piano moving? For moving within Metro Manila, we charge a minimum of PHP 10,000 for an upright piano and PHP 17,000 for grands, exclusive of taxes. These rates may still vary depending on the location of the move. We suggest confirming the rate thru the following numbers (02) 8801 3431 local 401 or +63 917 895 0011.

MASON & HAMLIN PIANOS – TENSION RESONATOR

Posted on January 13th, 2022

TENSION RESONATOR

Ever heard about “Tension Resonators“? It is a technology developed by Mason & Hamlin. To further understand, let us explain how the piano produces its sound. Pressing a key will make the piano action hit the strings and sound will resonate through the soundboard making the sound louder and crisper. To further maintain the quality of sound, the piano needs to maintain a slight upward arch to the soundboard also known as the “Crown”. A piano with a soundboard flat out will produce a dull sound, tones will not last. To maintain this crown, a piano must have massive rims. Mason and Hamlin took it further, they developed a device called the tension resonator and installed it under the piano to hold the rims. That is why even old Mason and Hamlin pianos have vibrant sounds due to their excellent crown. Only Mason and Hamlin pianos have it, so next time you see one, check it out under the piano. CLICK HERE TO SEE OUR FULL INVENTORY

MASON AND HAMLIN AA

The Mason & Hamlin was founded in Boston in the year 1854 by two idealists to accomplish a goal: “Make the world’s finest musical instrument”. Emmons Hamling and Henry Mason, a mechanic and a pianist committed to building an unmatch instrument with the use of the finest material and innovative technology. Only Manila Pianos has this kind of grand piano in the country! Come to our showroom and check them out!

Church Organ Philippines

Posted on November 10th, 2021

We started our Piano business in Canada 35 years ago and the very first sale we had was a Cantor Church Organ. Organs are mostly used in houses of worship due to the heavenly sound it produces. It was called “Pipe Organ” in the Renaissance Era since it uses pipes and produces sound by driving pressurized air into it. Modern Organs are now digital sampling and simplified making them applicable to home use.

Church Organs

Manila Pianos Inc has a wide collection of Digital Sampling Organs starting from two manuals up to three manual hybrid pipe organs. Click here to see the full inventory of organs.

Volume can be adjustable by turning the organ volume control knobs and reverb volume can be smoothly adjusted with the cathedral volume knob. The organ has three expression pedals. One is configured as a swell pedal for the Great/Pedal or Choir/Great/Pedal, one is configured as a swell pedal for the Swell, and one is configured as a crescendo pedal. With the use of the Johannus Menu, the function of the expression pedals can be changed. Using an expression pedal which is set as a swell pedal will next to the volume also changes the timbre of the stops. By this, the effect of the swell box shutters of a pipe organ is simulated.

The truth about the Brand New Pianos

Posted on September 14th, 2021

Yamaha Piano

You want to buy a piano, Of course you want to buy brand new piano because that’s what you will pay for. You go to google and you punch in “brand new piano” and low and behold, it stated, Lazada with “Yamaha U3, PHP 6,000.00 including delivery”. So you think, WOW, that’s not so much, but you want to call for second opinion and you remembered Manila Pianos because they specialized in used pianos and they might have one for PHP 3,000 or so.

You call Manila Pianos’ mobile number 0917 895 0011 and get someone on the phone whom you ask for a used Yamaha U3 and the guy tells you it’s around PHP 250,000!!! So you asked, how much is a new one? The guy tells you around PHP 600,000 pesos. Now you are all confused. What to heck is going on?

You hang up and try to do some more research. You call Yamaha and ask them the price of a new Yamaha piano. The person on the line tells me, oh, you can already buy a new one for PHP 299,000. So you asked, is that a U3 made in Japan, and the guy answers, no Ma’am, this is a new Yamaha U3 made in Indonesia. Now you are all confused, thinking Yamaha is made in JAPAN!

Due to the high prices of good materials and labor in Japan they started to outsource their product to Indonesia, same with Kawai pianos. Indonesia is China’s closest competitor in terms of price and quality. But unlike China, in which many small and large companies, domestic and foreign, are involved in piano manufacturing. All pianos made in Indonesia are the products of three large, foreign players: Yamaha, Kawai, and Samick. For the U.S. market, Yamaha makes an entry-level grand and most of their smaller verticals in Indonesia; Kawai makes all its small and medium-sized verticals there, and one entry-level grand; and Samick makes all its pianos for sale in North America there, both grand and vertical.

You wanted to buy a good quality Japanese piano and now it seems that you can only buy a Japan piano made in Indonesia for your budget. First your budget was PHP 6000, now it is PHP 250,000 what should you do???

According to our Google research, we found out that the superior Japanese pianos were produced in the 1970 and 1980’s as much for Yamaha as well as Kawai. We also found out that the best Korean pianos, like Young Chang, were owned by Yamaha and they produced superior pianos between 1985 and 2000.

The Yamaha Corporation was originally named Nippon Gakki, which translated means ‘Japan musical instruments’. It was changed to Yamaha Corporation in 1987. The First World War brought extraordinary benefits for Nippon Gakki, as it brought about an impressive development in the Japanese business. The piano organization had the option to accommodate markets that couldn’t get to conventional causes of supply, for example, Asian business sectors. 1,000 specialists were utilized and they were making 1,200 pianos per year by 1920. Such great deals records were kept up even after the conflict had wrapped up.

The Yamaha Serial Numbers

Yamaha Pianos have been manufactured in 4 locations:

  • Hamamatsu, Japan
  • Thomaston, Georgia
  • South Haven, Michigan
  • Jakarta, Indonesia

Therefore, there are four unique serial numbers for Yamaha pianos.

If the serial number starts with a “T” , the piano was fabricated in Thomaston, Georgia. If your grand piano is a GH1G, GH1FP, GC1G, or GC1FP, your piano was produced in Thomaston, Georgia.

If the serial number starts with a “U” , the piano was fabricated in South Haven, Michigan.

If your grand piano is a GA1E, DGA1E, GB1, or DGB1, your piano was produced in Jakarta, Indonesia.

If your piano is any other grand piano it was produced in Hamamatsu, Japan.

In the event that your upright piano is taller than 45″ it was fabricated in Hamamatsu, Japan.

In the event that your upright piano is 45″ or shorter and has seven numbers, it was fabricated in Hamamatsu, Japan after January, 1970.

The following are the serial numbers made in Japan.

Steinway & Sons – Model O

Posted on September 4th, 2021

Steinway & Sons - Model O

This Steinway & Sons – Model O ‘s rich tone and responsive action is found in a considerable number homes, schools of music and studios. With 5’10” (177.8cm) size, it was tagged as the “Medium” Grand. However, there isn’t anything medium about the sound from this Steinway.

For over a century and a half, the world’s most refined musicians have liked to communicate their music expression on a Steinway and Sons pianos. The lists includes the classics, jazz, and even pop music culture; the people who have formed the world’s music legacy. Today, in excess of 98% of the world’s dynamic professional piano players decide to perform on Steinway Pianos. The delight of playing and possessing a Steinway piano, in any case, isn’t the restrictive area of the virtuosi. Rather, it is a world open to all who share an affection for music, fine craftsmanship and enduring quality.

That which distinguishes Steinway pianos, more than all else, is summarized in our commitment to a solitary ideal: make the best pianos on the planet. It has never entered our psyches to think twice about. Where some have subbed mass-delivered, manufactured segments to speed creation or lessen costs, we apply innovations and new materials just when they give demonstrated upgrades in the piano. We hold fast to these standards for one explanation — compromise quality, and you risk the sound, the touch, and eventually, the respectability of the instrument.

The Technology

While we stick to the customary upsides of craftsmanship, Steinway & Sons – Model O has likewise reliably driven through advancement. The earliest pianos made by Steinway were recognized by their imaginative components — a large number of which characterized the advanced piano. Today, every Steinway piano is a summation of our obligation to advancement. Each joins more than 125 licensed components and cycles, including our protected Diaphragmatic® soundboard, Accelerated Action® and Hexagrip® pinblock.

A Steinway & Sons – Model O takes nearly a year to create. Nothing is hurried. Even the carefully selected woods that make the Steinway a fantastic piano requires almost a year to make. Indeed, even the carefully selected woods that make up the edges, top, soundboards, and activities remedy for quite a long time in Steinway’s yard, ovens, and molding rooms before they settle at an unbendingly indicated moisture content. The edge of the pianos comprises of layers of hard rock maple and with our chime quality, full cast-iron plate, withstands the gigantic measure of strain applied by the strings. The best acoustic-quality tidy is formed into the fragile bend of the Diaphragmatic® soundboard, which tightens delicately from the middle to the edge, guaranteeing the full, rich Steinway sound.

Ultimately, the pieces — massive and delicate — come together through the interweaving of the craft and technology until the instrument is complete. However it is not a Steinway until voicing gives it the special quality that makes it unique. In Steinway, every subtle nuance is drawn out by balancing and adjusting the keys and shaping, hardening or softening each hammer.

The Quality of Steinway & Sons – Model O

In the end, the new piano is transformed from more than 12,000 individual parts into an instrument… and from an instrument into a Steinway.

Scam Pianos Philippines

Posted on February 9th, 2018

Scam Pianos Philippines.

Scam Pianos Philippines, there were some on display when I visited Greenbelt 3 last night, there was a piano booth at the entrance of Greenbelt 3 featuring grand and upright pianos and of course, as a piano enthusiast, I right away went to the booth.

I started to play a little on a baby grand Lyric and right away I found NO SOUND WHATSOEVER in the bass strings, completely dead strings. The salesman told me, oh yes, it needs some tuning! I asked them if it was a new grand piano, and they told me YES.  I told him that tuning will not solve that problem. Dead strings are dead strings, they need to be replaced. He then proceeded to ask me if I knew about pianos and admitted after I told him yes, that the strings were no good, but most people couldn’t hear it anyway! Then I gave them a business card.

The grand piano looked new, but I took a photo of the serial number (Samick made) and in my office I checked it and it turns out to be 1991, so 25 years old. They did a great job refurbishing the piano. But they are lying to me, so also to other customers I assume, about the age of the piano. The price was P650,0000 when I asked for it, which is a criminal price for a grand piano with all original parts and dead strings.

I don’t know why Philippines is not taking action against these practices, but I sure am mad on behalf of the people that buy these pianos believing the pianos are “new” or ” barely used” or whatever. I also see many pianos here in Manila, mainly Yamaha, with false serial numbers, even pianos that are not Yamaha with a Yamaha sticker on it.

Customer, please be aware of these things, ASK, ASK, ASK, don’t buy before you are convinced that what you are buying is REALLY what you are buying. I have all the proof to back up what I am stating here, come to www.pianos.ph and I will show you the pictures.
