Estonia Pianos Larry Fine Says: "When I reported on Estonia pianos for the fourth edition of The Piano Book (2001), it was a good piano with much potential, but as the company was still rebounding from problems suffered during the Communist era, some caution was advised. Since becoming sole owner in 2001 Dr. Laul has made so many improvements to the piano that it is practically a different instrument. Improvements include: rescaling the bass and upgrading bass string making machinery for producing hand-wound bass strings; improving the method of drilling pinblocks; stronger plates and imrpoved plate finishes; thicker inner and outer rims; improved fitting of soundboard to rim; concert-grand quality soundboard spruce on all models; quarter-sawn maple bridge caps; adjustable front and rear duplex scales; wood for legs and keylips heat-treated to btter resist changing climatic conditions; Renner Blue hammers on all models; better quality metal hardware that resist oxidation; suede-covered music desk tray; improved satin finishes; estabkishes a quality control department headed by Dr. Laul's farther (both his father and mother are professional musicians); higher grade and artistically matched veneers; and establishing a U.S. service center for warranty repairs. All pianos are now accompained by a quality control signed by a member of the Laul family, and each piano is played and checked by them." |
Dear Piano Customer, About ten years ago I wrote the motto for our company: "We sincerely respect everybody who can make a truly fantastic piano, since our real competitor is the Ideal Piano - the greatest instrument one can imagine...” This represents our continuous pursuit for perfection. Our piano sound is warm, rich, romantic and high-class. These instruments have been praised by some of the most famous classical and jazz pianists of all time: Claudio Arrau, Oscar Peterson, Emil Gilels, Dave Brubeck, and Sviatoslav Richter. Pianist Marc-André Hamelin, a Grammy-artist and an owner of our Parlor Grand piano, wrote: "The level of craftsmanship in the Estonia piano can only inspire the highest respect and I have no doubt that this piano will continue to prove essential to sensitive musicians." Dear Customer, purchasing the ESTONIA grand has entered you into the company of great pianists. On the following pages we would like to present to you more details about the art of making your most musical instrument. Thank you very much for choosing our piano.
With warm musical wishes,
Dr. Indrek Laul |
