Choosing a moving company is a necessary part of owning your own piano. Pianos are very different from furniture and therefore require the expertise of a trained piano mover. Moving a piano yourself can prove disastrous but don't just take our word for it!

;) Morristown Pianos is a "world" piano. Components are globally sourced from the best suppliers and then assembled & finished overseas in the worlds' newest and most technologically advanced piano factory. These components include:
A matching, hinged top bench is included with every MMS Piano. The MMS Piano 10 year limited warranty is one of the best in the piano industry and represents the level of commitment to our customers. MMS PIANO TOUCH:Proper touch provides the beginner with the opportunity to develop technique and musicality. Consistent sensitivity across the keyboard, accurately machined components, and true piano "weighted action"
The MMS Piano action
The manufacturing technology, when combined with quality materials including straight grain hard maple action parts, spruce keys and Japanese hammers, results in a responsive touch from a durable action.
MMS PIANO TONE:By design, MMS Pianos have an "American" rather than "Asian" tone, often described as "warm" rather than "cool". Warm tone results from rich harmonics and long sustain. A cool tone is bright and quick.
We briefly consider three areas of piano construction which contribute to the nature of tone.
Tension, one aspect of overall scale design, literally refers to how tightly the piano is strung. A tighter string will return to rest more quickly after being set into vibration and therefore have shorter sustain. Frequently a high tension design will give an instrument initial power when string is first struck by hammer, but fast decay of sound. Iron plate together with the wood frame, compensate for some 23 tons of cumulative tension exerted by more than 200 steel strings. The traditional sand cast plate, still used on all of the worlds' great pianos, is musically inert and will produce a dull knock when struck by a knuckle. The V-Pro (Vacuum Process) plate by contrast, due to the manufacturing process and materials used, can produce a ringing sound and encourages bright tone. Wood frame also provides structural support and should be musically inert. A hard frame will enhance sustain by reflecting sound and vibrations back to the soundboard rather than absorb them. MMS pianos have rims made of American hard maple and birch rather than softer, less expensive "lauan mahogany" usually used in Asian rims. |
