W.Hoffmann Grand Pianos combine elegant form with durability, excellent craftsmanship, and produce a beautiful sound. The soundboard’s and ribs are made of solid European mountain spruce; the curved rim of the sound body is made of bonded long wooden layers, strongly reinforced, and solidly tensioned. The plate is made of sand cast iron, with capo d'astro bar. A masterfully-crafted instrument with European tonal characteristics that makes a beautiful addition to the home, and is equally suited to the intensive use of schools and institutions.
