RÖNISCH Model 132
Vertical grand
superlative artistry
Rock-solid back-frame, grand-length strings, expansive soundboard, lightning-fast grand-length keys - the advantages of a fine grand piano are evident in the superb engineering of the tallest Model 132.
Massive bass power and crystalline treble projection attain the ultimate in musical variety and nuance. Complex orchestral harmonics blend in an infinite palette of tonal colour - the Rönisch sound for those who desire the very best in an upright.
RÖNISCH 132K: Abel hammers
Abel hammers using long-fibre merino BIO-felt are responsible for the powerful yet sweet “singing” tone of Rönisch pianos.
Lanolin is very important to keep the natural resilience in the hammer felt which greatly affects piano tone. To retain this lanolin, Abel started the BIO-FELT PROJECT 2003-2006 (sponsored by the European Union) with the result of a felt called NATURAL FELT which did away with harsh chemicals in the washing stage of felt making. This is a more natural product – not as white in colour but incredibly versatile in sound.
RÖNISCH 132K: Pinblock, frame, and strings.
Using Delignit pinblocks for ultimate tuning stability means that your Rönisch piano has the potential to be enjoyed for many generations.
This is further supported by the traditional sand-cast iron frame, a significantly slower process than modern vacuum casting methods but resulting in a strong foundation for the piano. This textured finish is evidence of this expensive sand-cast method.
The copper twists at the top of the tenor strings is a clear sign that they have been hand-wound, in this case around high-tensile German steel to maintain a pure tone for decades to come.
RÖNISCH pianos: a rich and successful history
Rönisch have a history spanning back to 1845 and were one of the first German manufacturers to import pianos into Australia. In fact, Rönisch won gold in the world exhibitions in Sydney as far back as 1879. The Rönisch Concert Grand with the serial number 8461 can be admired at the Australian National University of Canberra (ANU). As part of Australia’s musical history it is the centrepiece of the Keyboard Institute’s collection at the School of Music.
This is a brand recognised and respected by any serious pianist in Australia. Today Rönisch pianos represent a multi-generational investment due to the supreme manufacturing quality and respect that they’ve developed and maintained over the last 170+ years.
