HU5P
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 HU5P (50") - Professional Series
Designed for larger studios, the Hailun HU5P Professional Series Upright Piano is powerful and yet well balanced with a rich tone and a wide tonal palette. An advanced scale design and cold pressed hammers of highest quality German Wurzen felt are the heart of the sound. Tuning and action stability are ensured with the multi-laminate maple pin block, bass agraffes, full perimeter wet sand cast plate, and the exclusive PAS Keyboard Stability system. Special ebony sharps and all wood action parts made of hornbeam from Europe give the pianist exceptional control. Slow-close fallboard and classic cabinet design add the finishing touch.

Advanced Scale Design
The scale of the Hailun HU5P was developed by world-renowned piano designer George F. Emerson (Former Director of Piano Research and Development, Baldwin Piano Company) and Peter Veletzky (Wendl & Lung of Vienna, Austria). Strategic design of the string tension and length coupled with the placement of the bridges give the Hailun HU5P a rich tone, great sustain, and powerful projection.
Duplex Scale
The Hailun HU5P incorporates Duplex Scale from Hailun's award-winning grand pianos into its design. In normal pianos the non-speaking length of strings behind the bridge are muted with felt to avoid unwanted resonances, Duplex Scale on the other hand acts like a secondary bridge and makes them ring out at a complimenting pitch. This adds extra richness and sparkle to the treble. Duplex Scale is normally only found on high-end grand pianos - but it comes standard on all Hailun Professional Series models 50" and up!
Performance Plus™ Action
The Hailun HU5P 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 HU5P'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 rigid foundation for the action that is impervious to external influences.
Soundboard
The Hailun HU5P'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 solid 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 HU5P is equipped 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 HU5P 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 HU5P 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.
Copper-Steel Capo Rod
Another Hailun innovation is the installation of a copper-steel rod on top of the capo bar. This ensures a cleaner and more precise string termination point for better clarity in the treble. Just like high-end pianos it also features an extra thick steel pressure bar.
Pinblock
The Hailun HU5P 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 Hailun HU5P is made in the traditional slow wet-sand-cast method plus it's also 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. The double solid brass casters make repositioning the piano a breeze.
