Great importance is attached to the use of only top quality materials and a high standard of workmanship. This begins with the manufacture of the backpost, during which finger-jointed solid spruce and Delignit are used to form the backpost with glue-mounted Delignit pin block. After all, it is the backpost with bearing that forms the basis for the exact conditions of camber and tension in the soundboard. And the secret of that unmistakable, transparent SEILER sound is to be found here, in SEILER's patented membrator soundboard. This is why only narrow-ringed, mountain spruce is used - selected by experienced wood experts and subjected to a special drying process.

 
Rings for resonance

Experience and inventiveness, as well as the craftsmanship passed on from generation to generation, are still indispensable to the success of SEILER grands and uprights. After all, no amount of state-of-the-art technology can replace the dexterity and skills of our piano builders. Over 100 different operations are required to turn the numerous, precision-made parts into a "genuine SEILER". This elaborate process is necessary in order to ensure the durability and optimum playing capacity of all SEILER instruments for decades to come.

 
Tailor-made precision and high perfection

Once the backpost is ready, the ribs and bridges are carefully glued on and the soundboard precision-tensioned using the Tonal Volume Stabilizer - yet another SEILER patent. It is this ten- sion- ing which is so vital to the transparent sound of the instrument and its retention of value for decades to come.

Precision work and a desire for perfection right down to the last detail are required for all the operations to follow, whether it be the alignment of the iron frame with the holes for the tuning pins, the tightening of the descant, treble and bass strings, or the installation and precision positioning of the action inside the cabinet.

 
Built for a small eternity

Such work would be inconceivable without the painstaking meticulousness of our piano builders, whose talent and know-how are coupled with a keen sense of their responsibility and the desire to make every SEILER instrument a masterpiece in the art of piano making. And even if these technical details are scarcely visible to SEILER customers across the globe, they are nevertheless audible. A single note is all that is required and it's "love at first sound".
