The EU122 has won praise from music industry magazines, the world’s #1 Piano Forum www.pianoworld.com, and excellent reviews by the world’s #1 Piano Ranking website www.pianobuyer.com which designated the EU122 a “staff favorite!” Designed by the legendary Swiss Master Piano Designer, Lothar Thomma, the EU122 is a 48” studio piano suitable for players at any level. Strategically offset backposts provide greater strength in the treble section of the piano where the most tension exists, and less in the bass, providing a pleasingly-even tone across the piano. This is a feature normally reserved for pianos costing much more. Experienced craftspeople notch the bridge by hand. Premium German felt is used for the hammerheads, and butcher-block construction with spruce is used for the keybed, designed to withstand heavy use.
