NEWS: A SIGNATURE PIANO
Prior to relocating to Portland in early 2016, I delivered the first commission of my own Concert Grand model, the ARNO® 284
[the Two-Eighty-Four].
With the A-284, the vocabulary of piano architecture has been redefined and leads the instrument into the new century.
Several soundtracks of the A-284 under the next link 'The ARNO 284 - Listen to the A-284' are now available on this site.
INTRODUCING THE ARNO® 284 CONCERT PIANO
The ARNO® 284, a straight-strung 2 m 84 (9'4") grand piano, achieves the form in which the concert piano should exist today.
Its organic design is based on acoustic research, craftsmanship experience and musical studies, sustained over three decades.
An unlikely linkage - from industry to poetry - becomes a successful example of the intricate intimacy between science and art.
I produced a versatile piano, featuring exceptional polyphonic clarity and sustain, radiating a powerful, refined and sensuous tonal color palette.
The A-284 embodies progress in multiple areas of piano technology, and integrates acoustructural engineering with advanced manufacturing methods.
From the initial aesthetic vision to the final completion of the first instrument, I dedicated myself to a fascinating ten-year process.
Today I am glad to write that the Raison d'Etre of this work has been fulfilled.
The A-284 allows us to express our musical intentions through the interface of a light, well-balanced action with enhanced ergonomic comfort.
This premier piano is being enthusiastically received by international concert artists, performers, scholars and music lovers.
