There are still some indicators that cannot be completed in this spot check, and it will take time to test. First, the stability of intonation: I have seen some pianos such as the Pearl River, which have not been tuned for three or four years, and the intonation is not obvious, so most students can't recognize them. But some notes run badly within two months after being tuned. The same tuning lawyer tuned it, so it should be the quality of the piano. 1. Overall quality and durability: After some pianos have been used for five or six years, the soundboard is seriously deformed, and the keys become loose and inelastic. The overall quality is greatly reduced, while the Pearl River piano is durable, like my own Pearl River 1 15M. It has been used for eight years now, and it feels good and its timbre is getting better and better. Of course, these are my personal one-sided views, because I don't have access to all pianos and know little about other brands, so I believe in the Pearl River. But it is true that several brands I have contacted have made me uninterested.
Although it belongs to high-end consumer goods, the piano is entering more and more people's families. In recent years, commodity discounts have become popular, but "regardless of things, north and south", pianos are not popular in price reduction, and there is a trend that more and more piano shops, large and small, are opening. It is understood that there are hundreds of musical instruments in Beijing alone, and the sales potential of pianos can be seen.
The quality index of piano mainly includes sound quality, performance, assembly technology and appearance painting. The sampling results of piano products show that the quality of pianos is basically satisfactory, but pianos produced by different manufacturers are all qualified products, but the quality is uneven, especially the acoustic quality and performance of products that people pay attention to, and the performance of different brands is obviously different.
Sound quality is the most important index to measure the quality of piano, which includes the requirements of timbre, sound quality and product volume, such as: the sound in the whole range should be uniform, coherent and unified, which can express different strong and weak sounds, with distinct levels and harmony in the same degree and octave. Playing is mainly to evaluate the piano's key movements and pedal control performance, which requires flexible keyboard response and sensitive pronunciation response, and can adapt to various changes in playing strength and speed.
Figures show that the family share of pianos in developed countries such as Europe and America is about 30%, while in China, the family share of urban pianos is less than 5%. It can be predicted that with the further improvement of people's quality of life and the increasing awareness of children's quality education, the market demand for pianos will continue to expand. However, it should be noted that the domestic piano market has changed from the seller's market in the 1980s to the buyer's market today. It should also be noted that although China has become a major piano producer with an annual output of about 200,000 pianos after nearly half a century's development, there is still a certain gap between piano manufacturers in China and foreign countries in terms of product quality. For example, this spot check found that the metal parts of individual pianos were oxidized and blackened. In addition, due to the poor processing level and maintenance, how to better enhance the product image of domestic pianos, effectively improve the quality of pianos, and then meet more and more critical consumers should become the direction of domestic piano manufacturers' efforts in the future.

Press release of the results of national supervision and spot check on the quality of piano products by the supervision department of the State Bureau of Quality and Technical Supervision (200 1 1 7)
Piano originated in Europe and is widely popular in the world. It is known as "the king of musical instruments". After years of development, especially during the Ninth Five-Year Plan period, China piano manufacturing industry has made great progress. At present, China has become a major piano producer, with an annual output of about 200,000 pianos, ranking second in the world.
In order to promote the healthy development of China's piano industry and guide consumption, in the fourth quarter of 2000, the State Bureau of Quality and Technical Supervision organized a national supervision and spot check on the quality of piano products. 17 products produced by 17 enterprises in Beijing, Shanghai, Tianjin, Guangdong, Jiangsu, Shandong, Liaoning, Zhejiang, Fujian and other provinces and municipalities directly under the central government were randomly selected, all of which were qualified, and the sampling pass rate of products was 100%. The annual output of these 17 enterprises accounts for more than 98% of the national total output. This spot check specially invited a famous professor from the Piano Department of the Central Conservatory of Music to participate in the evaluation of piano acoustic quality. Experts believe that the timbre, appearance technology and performance of the products have been greatly improved, the overall quality level of domestic pianos is rising steadily, and the gap with imported pianos is narrowing. The improvement of the quality of domestic pianos is mainly manifested in the following aspects:
First, the piano has beautiful appearance and fine craftsmanship. Among the 26 items of piano process inspection, the key lifting load, pedal control performance, key arrangement, black keys length and width are better. Moreover, some enterprises have adopted the most popular new coatings in the world, and their brightness and wear resistance are better than before. According to the "Regulations on Quality Classification of Piano Products", pianos with a gloss of 95% are excellent products. In this spot check, 12 companies have piano glossiness above 100%.
Secondly, the sound quality and performance of the piano have been greatly improved compared with the last spot check. A total of 14 pianos were tested in this spot check. According to experts, the piano spot check has beautiful timbre, distinct strength levels, balanced volume in the whole range, coherent and unified range, even strength of keys, moderate touch and elastic feeling, flexible pedals and no noise.
Thirdly, as the heart of the piano, the mechanical properties of percussion instruments have been greatly improved. The longitudinal beam consists of more than 5200 parts, accounting for about 65% of all piano parts. At present, the major piano manufacturers in China have replaced imported percussion instruments with domestic percussion instruments. The improvement of the quality of domestic percussion instruments is mainly manifested in the realization of professional and standardized operation. High-tech means are adopted in tree species selection, material treatment and the use of processing equipment. Some rapper manufacturers are also equipped with large artificial climate boxes, which greatly improve the standard accuracy and assembly sensitivity of rapper parts. Moreover, the hammer of the percussion machine has moderate hardness and soft and beautiful timbre, and has begun to have the style of European piano.
Fourth, the variety is diversified, which can meet the requirements of different countries, regions and different users. In the production process, enterprises design and produce marketable products according to the different needs of different countries and regions for pianos. Domestic pianos are modern, antique and colorful. Some enterprises have about 50 varieties of harp colors, which fully shows the design ability of domestic enterprises.
Piano is a work of art closely related to the industrial level of a country. There are many factors to promote the quality of domestic pianos, including: 1. Thanks to the strong financial support of the state. For example, the state has invested hundreds of millions of yuan in Guangzhou Zhujiang Piano Group Co., Ltd., Beijing Xinghai Musical Instrument Co., Ltd. and Yingkou Northeast Piano (Group) Company in the form of "Double Plus Project" to carry out large-scale technical transformation of piano production enterprises. By the end of 1990s, the technical scale of Chinese piano production enterprises was equivalent to that of foreign piano production enterprises, and the production conditions of some enterprises were even better than those of foreign countries. 2. Thanks to advanced equipment and excellent talents. The leaders of some enterprises realize that piano production must be expanded and upgraded, and technical transformation must be strengthened. Some enterprises have invested hundreds of millions of yuan to set up a production line with an annual output of tens of thousands of pianos. At the same time, some enterprises pay attention to the introduction of technical talents and hire foreign experts for technical guidance, which improves the performance and acoustic quality of domestic pianos. 3. Benefit from scientific management. Of the 17 enterprises sampled, 5 have passed the quality system certification of GB/T19000-ISO9001or GB/T 19000-ISO 9002, and some enterprises have also declared ISO 14000. 4. Benefit from specialized production. In recent years, important parts of the piano, such as the string striking machine, the string shaft and the hammer, have established professional factories, which makes the piano production move towards the modern production mode of specialized production.
While affirming that the quality of domestic pianos has made great progress, experts believe that there is still a certain gap between domestic pianos and foreign famous pianos in acoustic quality. The main reason is that domestic pianos are not ready for timbre arrangement, which is related to the operator's skills and musical literacy.
In view of the results of this spot check, the quality and technical supervision department will vigorously publicize the 17 products and their production enterprises that have passed the spot check. Introduce the common sense of purchasing piano to consumers, guide consumption and effectively protect the legitimate rights and interests of consumers.
