Great tone in a piano is dependent upon many factors, but two of the most important are the soundboard and the strings. Every Covington & Clark piano uses Raslau strings imported from Germany. These fine strings feature hand turned bass windings, yielding a full, deep bass tone. Solid Spruce has been the material of choice in soundboards of fine instruments for centuries. Covington & Clark pianos use only the finest hand selected solid Spruce soundboards, projecting a clear and resonant tone.

Great touch on a piano allows the artist to bring out the finest nuances of a performance. There are over 12,000 parts in a piano action that must work together in perfect harmony. Covington & Clark pianos have an even and consistent touch throughout the entire range of the keyboard. Each key is individually weighed and balanced and each hammer is constructed for many years of use. Only the highest quality high density virgin wool is used on the hammers. Each hammer felt is T-pinned to the shank for durability and long life. The result of precise design and careful construction is a piano that is consistent in touch, and a pleasure to play - on all 88 keys.

Tuning stability in a piano is a result of precise engineering, quality materials, and expert craftsmanship.
