Rim Construction: |
| A full 2
1/2" thickness of selected hard
maple layers, laminated, cross
banded and held with
moisture-resistant glue, then held
at a constant temperature and
humidity for at least four weeks to
ensure proper moisture
content. |
|
Pinblock |
| The finest
quality Delignit pinblock is used
to guarantee an extraordinary life
expectancy. |
|
Bridges |
| The
bridges are hand made and pinned;
manufactured of hard maple
according to a special vertical
lamination process with a high
grade, quarter-sawn maple
cap. |
|
Sound Board |
| The sound
board is made of clear,
close-grained, quarter-sawn, solid
spruce. It is varied in thickness
by reason of acoustical design. The
ribs are of select, quarter-sawn
spruce graduated in width and
thickness, and feathered for
flexibility and frequency of
response. Each rib receives a
special individual crown for its
location in the sound board
structure. The ribs of the Charles
R. Walter Grand are also unique in
their method of being mortised into
the inner rim. This process is
individualized for each rib of the
piano, producing the perfect
balance of stiffness and
flexibility required in every
square inch of sound board. The
exclusive sound board design gives
a very even tone from low bass to
high treble. |
|
Strings |
| The treble
strings and the core wires of the
wrapped strings are of the highest
grade music wire. The wrappings of
the strings are solid copper wire.
String length and diameter of inner
and outer wraps are all carefully
computed to achieve the very smooth
inharmonicity scale so
characteristic of all Walter
pianos. The longest speaking length
of the W190 Grand is 57
1/2". |
| Action |
| The Walter
Grand contains the finest grand
action, custom made by Renner for
the W190 piano. |
| Keys |
| Specially
designed Kluge keys go into every
Charles R. Walter Grand. Each is
individually lead-weighted
(balanced) for a smooth, even
touch. |
|

external trim, including the heavy
casters, are of solid
brass. |

| All case
parts are of lumber-core and solid
hardwood construction. |

formulated lacquer, hand-rubbed and

"(I)t is without reservation, that I
recommend Dan's craftsmanship to any musician, who wishes
superior repair and restoration to their instrument. His
attention to detail and knowledge will increase the
precision of the instrument and the quality of your
playing."
-John T.
Brown, Tenor Saxophone
Artist & Instructor, Marshfield,
WI
"My son is a music education major at
St. Norbert College. We have brought both of his trumpets
in for repair and have been very satisfied. One trumpet
was never right from the time of purchase from another
store. Michelsen repaired it so that it was better than
new. We have been very happy."
- Michael Maher, Wausau
