Yamaha C7 Grand Piano
Today's C Series grands also incorporate all of the quality construction
features found in prior C Series models.
Rims are formed from layers of select woods, laminated into shape in special
presses, then seasoned to allow the wood to stabilize. Sturdy back posts are
joined in a radial configuration and fitted to the rim using exceptionally
strong and stable dovetail joints, enhancing both the pianos durability and
the integrity of the acoustic chamber.
Iron plates, the internal frame of the piano, are cast in a vacuum molding
process that virtually eliminates flaws and imperfections, then attached with
an adjustable mounting system that allows precise control over string downbearing
— critical for the best tonal performance. A metal tone collector connects
the back posts to the plate, reflecting sound energy back through the case
for a fuller, more sustained resonance.
Soundboards are crafted from select clear spruce and cured in a proprietary
process that ensures a durable, natural crown. This is further reinforced
with full-length spruce ribs, securely mortised and glued into the inner rim.
Bridges are formed from fine-grained hardwoods chosen for optimal sound transmission,
and precisely notched and pinned to carry the strings.
Produced from special steel and pure copper wire, strings are installed with
the aid of special equipment for consistent, even tensioning. Duplex scaling,
which tunes non-'speaking' lengths of the strings, enriches primary tones
with complementary harmonics.

One of Yamaha's best efforts
I've owned a C7 for about 10 years and still love it...it's a great axe.
