The technique of playing the instrument involves not only mastering the mastery of sound production using 88-key mechanics, it is extremely important to use the correct pedal technique. There are three pedals on the instrument, but the main one is theSustainpedal.Thepiano's device is such that after hitting the string with a hammer, its sound is interrupted by a special muffler - a damper. The sustain pedal disables the dampers, allowing strings that have already been released to play. At the same time, it is very important to do this at strictly defined moments. Two other pedals,softandsostenuto,less commonly used, but it may give your new executionsx colors. Forexample,soft, or a softening pedal, makes the sound of the instrument softer, more muffled. Asostenutoallow only keys remain sound,the sound of which has beenrecovered at the time of pressing the pedal.

One of the recognized leaders in piano production is the Japanese company Yamaha, whose logo is no coincidence that there are two crossed tuning forks.The pianos of this company are distinguished by excellent sounding and excellent appearance. The company, which was founded in 1887, did not immediately start producing pianos. At first they were organs, then instruments for a symphony orchestra. And already at the beginning of the 20th century, and in 1904, the organ and piano produced by the company of the Japanese entrepreneur Thorakusu Yamaha received the Grand Prix at the World Exhibition in the American city of St. Louis.

And thehandicraft piano is the younger brother of the piano. Its history goes back to theseventeenthcentury, when the Italian harpsichord master Bartolomeo Cristofori invented what was originally called the gravicembalo col piano e forte, a harpsichord that plays softly and loudly. Then the bulky name was replaced by the more capacious "piano", and only then the more familiar "piano". Translated from Italian, it is just "loud (forte)" and "quiet (piano)". The instrument got this name due to the fact that the piano could convey the dynamics of performance. Unlike their predecessors - the harpsichords and clavichords, in which the sound was produced by plucking, in the piano the hammer struck the string, which radically changed the timbre of the sound, dynamics and duration of the sound (sustain). In a piano, unlike a grand piano, the strings are not horizontally, but vertically (it is no coincidence that in English there is a definition for it upright piano - a vertical piano), which allows you to significantly reduce the size of the instrument.

The piano requires a fairly complex maintenance. He should not be in the ole of direct sunlight, the tool must be protected from moisture. Indoors, it is desirable to maintain a temperature of about 18-25 degrees Celsius and about 60-70% humidity. Do not place it near open windows and radiators.

Its mechanics require periodic maintenance, which must be carried out by specially trained professionals. Adjustment and inspection of the mechanics is required about twice a year (very individual and depends on the manner of playing and the amount of time spent at the instrument).

The company is currently run by two sisters from the fifth generation of the Antonina family and produces approximately 2,000 grand pianos and 12,000 upright pianos a year. The company's tools are known for several innovations, such as ways of adjusting mechanics and, in particular, using magnetic systems.
