Perfect Touch for your Grand Piano

---

Every Piano has a Touch Design.

David C. Stanwood - The Inventor;

Precision TouchDesign^tm   -  The Highest Standard

What is a Precision Touch Design?  Stanwood studied the touch designs of   many pianos and correlated the data with pianist opinions. From these studies he developed idealized touch design specifications in a variety of standard or customized design configurations which he calls "Precision TouchDesigns^tm. Stanwood Precision TouchDesigns^tm may be used to reconfigure the touch of any grand piano thereby creating a degree of perfect touch and tone that is higher than any achieved before.

The task of playing piano is made easier

Think of playing the piano as artfully dancing up and down a staircase.  With Precision TouchDesign^tm  the steps are very even and the staircase is just the right steepness.  Without it the steps are uneven and the stair may be too steep or too shallow, requiring more difficult technique to negotiate.  Similarly, in a piano with Precision TouchDesign^tm the multiple weight components such as hammer weight and lead weights in the keys are made to a highly accurate standard thereby guaranteeing smooth transitions from note to note with an ideal voicing of the tone.  The action leveraging is designed to be not too heavy or too light but matched to the physique of the player.

A brighter future for Pianos

When asked why no one thought of this before, Stanwood replied: "All this became possible because I spent years taking, graphing, and correlating touchweight data with the aid of computer analysis.  This gave me vision for my inventions. Our piano making forefathers did not have personal computers in their shops." Stanwood says he was inspired by Gottfried Leibnitz and Sir Isaac Newton who both invented Calculus because the existing mathematics did not give answers to problems that needed solving. Similarly, the new touchweight metrology is spawning a whole new range of techniques for improving the feel of pianos that were unimaginable before its inception.
