Ravenchord Piano, it’s a radical acoustic music instrument that moves away from conventional pianos. With traditional pianos, sound reflects off a lid or wall which is acoustically flawed, but Ravenchord’s sound is projected directly out of the front towards the audience. The piano player faces the audience head-on instead of the back of head, this way, audience can fully see their emotions.
The unique design allows all internal working elements such as strings, hammers and dampers are exposed where everyone can actually see how a piano works, of course, it will elevate your music experience.
Since the invention of piano 200 years go, Ravenchord by Whipsaw brings unique patented design that promises stunning new perspective on this classic instrument category. The acoustic piano has been the same for hundreds of years, but you can’t see how it works, the sound is indirect and you can’t even see the player’s face fully. That’s why Ravenchord aims to re-imagine “front projection upright piano” where all internal working elements are exposed. In this way, you can see exactly how the sound is being created.
The strings are arranged on a spiral-shaped steel frame, ranging from short vertical treble strings to long horizontal bass strings, you can also see hammers that strike each string and the dampers to quiet them are located on the center spine and activated by solenoids. By revealing the inside piano, it is hoped that your music experience can be deeply enriched as form, function, and music become one.
