Since its founding in 1986, Hailun Piano Company has grown into one of Asia's top piano manufacturers through its tireless dedication to quality and innovation. At Hailun, every step from design to production is overseen by a team of international experts, which include the renowned piano designer George F. Emerson (Baldwin Piano Company) and quality control expert Rolf Ibach (Rud. Ibach Sohn, Germany). The 400,000 sq ft Hailun piano factory is one of the most technologically advanced in the world. Their extensive use of advanced 5-axis CNC equipment allow for unprecedented levels of precision and consistency in production. The materials used in Hailun pianos are sourced from Europe, North America, & Asia and are equal or superior in quality to those found in pianos many times their price. Hailun's unique hybrid of old-world design and non-compromising materials with the advantages of modern production techniques allow them to create world-class pianos at affordable price points that are simply impossible for 90% of piano manufacturers to match.
Hailun HU1P (48") - Professional Series
The HU1P is the first model in the Hailun Professional Series. It represents Hailun’s Premium offering in the 48” piano category. Features like custom German hammers, bass agraffes, and a full-perimeter wet-sandcast plate set this piano apart from all others. Despite being built of components you would only find in $20,000 pianos, the Hailun HU1P is priced generously below the $10,000 mark. This a great alternative for those looking for a new Japanese piano but who want a deeper European touch and tone.
Advanced Scale Design
The scale of the HU1P was developed by world-renowned piano designer George F. Emerson (Formar Director of Piano Reasearch and Development at the Baldwin Piano Company, with design work completed for Mason & Hamlin and Steinway). The strategic design of the string tension and the placement of the bass bridge allows for an unprecedented level of depth and power from a piano of this size. The treble has a wonderful singing tone that compares extremely well to 48's from legendary European manufacturers. The transition from bass to treble has been engineered to be as smooth and even as possible.
Performance Plus™ Action
The HU1P is equipped with Hailun's Performance Plus™ action made of European hornbeam. European hornbeam is famous for its density and toughness, in fact, it is the hardest wood found in Europe. Hailun's designers have engineered the touch to be highly responsive and fluid throughout the entire keyboard. This allows for a wide range of dynamics and musical expression.
Keyboard
The Hailun HU1P's natural keys are made of Spruce with Red Beech shoes, buttons, and dowel capstans. They are individually weighted and balanced for a great feel and precise touch. An interesting feature is the genuine Ebony wood sharps which have a naturally non-slip texture.
Exclusive PAS Keybed
Professional pianists are sensitive to such minor shifts and can sometimes detect them. Over time it is also possible for the wood to shift its form and cause a permanent change in the action. To ensure that the many combined parts that make up the action of an upright piano maintain a stable platform, Hailun Piano Company invented the Permanent-Action-Stability Keybed System (PAS). This unique aluminum keybed structure provides a stable foundation for the action that is impervious to external influences.
Soundboard
The Hailun HU1P's soundboard and ribs are made of premium solid Mountain Spruce which is famous for its desirable acoustic properties. The addition of their proprietary 15-degree spruce meniscus coating ensures climatic resistance and permanent soundboard "crown".
Bridges
Like all high quality pianos, hand-notched maple is used for both the bass and treble bridges. This ensures maximum sound transference from the strings to the soundboard.
Premium Hammers
Mass-produced hammers are pressed into shape with high heat. This destroys the natural structure and elasticity of the wool and often leads to premature hammer wear and a harsh tone. In view of this, the Hailun HU1P is fitted with custom German-made ABEL® double-felted hammers fitted with the highest grade cold-pressed FFW® Würzen felt for durability, rich tone, and a wide range of harmonics. Mahogany is the wood of choice for the hammer moldings rather than common Maple.
Strings
The Hailun HU1P uses Röslau steel strings from Germany. Röslau strings have an excellent reputation for quality, durability, and longevity. They are found on some of the world's finest pianos.
Grand Piano Agraffes
Instead of pins driven into the iron plate, the Hailun HU1P utilizes agraffes in the bass region to precisely regulate the spacing and angle of the strings. This is a premium feature normally reserved for grand pianos.
Pinblock
The Hailun HU1P features a 17-layer pinblock made of hardwood maple. These many layers of rigid hardwood "grip" the tuning pins better than normal pinblocks. Combined with 4 sturdy backpost, this helps the piano stay in tune longer.
Full Perimeter Plate
The cast iron plate (also known as the frame or harp) of a piano must withstand approx. 40,000 lbs of tension from the strings. As such it must be exceptionally dense and strong. The plate of the HU1P is made in the traditional slow wet-sand-cast method plus it's full perimeter for extra rigidity. This takes more time and resources than a standard mass-produced plate but the results are significantly denser and more durable. This same method is used by Steinway, Bosendorfer, and other luxury piano makers.
Cabinet
The traditional cabinet features a 2-piece lid, soft-close fallboard, and an extra-wide music desk to accommodate more music and books. Double solid brass casters make repositioning the piano a breeze.
15-YEAR WARRANTY
Hailun pianos are made with intelligent design, top quality materials, and vigorous quality control. They are so confidant in the performance and longevity of their instruments that they offer an industry-leading 15-Year Transferable Warranty.
From the Founder of Hailun,"I have put my name on my pianos and on my company.
