![]() ![]() Most manufacturers (including many of the most elite brands) cut corners by standardising scale designs across several models, leading to sub-optimal break points and pianos that have inconsistent tone and points of imbalance in the power and sustain of certain notes. This is a laborious and expensive design proposition and an equally expensive manufacturing proposition, given the large number of differing parts that are required. To take advantage of this for every size, it requires each piano to have its own scale design and matching keyboard. For any given size of piano there is a scientifically demonstrable ideal point to have the break. There is a point, known as ‘the break’ where the strings cross from one bridge to the other. All grand pianos feature two bridges, known as the bass bridge and treble bridge (a bass bridge is necessary to ensure adequate speaking length of bass strings).
