Coming This Summer!
Designed in-house, we are proud to announce the development of Alaska Piano Services' very own piano brand!
Our pianos are designed to have the touch and tone of high-end pianos, sold at factory price, eliminating the massive upcharge by dealerships, and guaranteed to be the most affordable pianos in the market!
Why Create Our Own?
We have the pleasure to service and play on some of the finest pianos in the state, these pianos are so refined in their touch and tone that it draws you in a way that's difficult to explain. We realized that most piano players will never have such an experience due to the unrealistic price tag of these pianos. Therefore, our goal is to create a similar experience at a price that you can afford.
Key Features
Weickert Hammers - Tonal Rebirth of Piano's Golden Age
Weickert felt was used exclusively on hammers produced for high quality pianos during the pianos' "Golden Age", where hundreds of piano manufactures existed in just the United states, producing some of the finest pianos ever created. The largest US customer of Weickert felt hammers back then was New York Steinway, making this the original Steinway hammers that assisted the building of their reputation.
The formula of Weickert felt was lost after WWII, and was only reintroduced in 1991 as an anonymous tests with Hamburg Steinway. Their head voicer Mr. Goedecke wrote that this felt reminded him of the old "Weickert" felt. In the modern piano market, Weickert hammers can only be found on some of the best pianos in the world (Hamburg Steinway, Fazioli, Ravenscroft, etc). We at Alaska Piano Services want to introduce this legendary felt through our line of grand pianos, giving you a tonal color that represents piano's best era.
Touch Design
Action design is a highly complicated subject that only a small percentage of piano technicians understand. It involves an extensive understanding of geometry and physics formulas, calculating leverage ratios, mass, speed, as well as understanding their effect on how the piano feels under the pianist's fingers.
Due to the limitations of factory production line, cost, or lack of good designs and skillset, most pianos are often too heavy, too slow, or uneven, becoming an obstacle to enjoy and master advanced playing techniques.
We at Alaska Piano Services are proud to be equipped with the knowledge and skillset to design actions and have created a proprietary action design that rivals some of the best pianos in the market.
