Rococo piano
Bellino
Exceptional Quality and Performance
Rococo’s main feature is asymmetry and nature-derived shell shapes, which open a universe of creative possibilities to the imagination of a skilled artist. These unbelievable art objects are literally sculptural works of art that house a brand-new iconic grade German piano within. With this legendary collaboration the iconic German legacy piano builder Blüthner collaborates with Rococo Pianos in creating the sort of art-case pianos Louis XIV-th would kill for.

These pianos are truly a pinnacle of opulence. The use of malachite, precious and semiprecious stones, 24k gilding of bronze and hand painting of murals – there are some, but not all the hallmarks of these regal instruments. Each of our Rococo pianos are completely bespoke.

Piano Keys & Parts
Looking at an acoustic grand piano you will find an amazing instrument with well over 12.000 parts. From a case consisting of an outer and inner rim, with heavy supporting beams underneath, where the soundboard rests and the frame is attached. Tuning pins in the pin block will serve to tension and tune some 230 steel strings which are strung on the cast iron frame which have to withstand a string tension of over 20tons.
Explaining the actual moving parts.
The piano action is composed of a complex mechanism to activate keys, hammers and dampers. While pressing the piano keys these will activate the hammers that strike rapidly the strings while dampers and pedals control the short or extended vibration of the strings. All of this magically synchronized in order to produce music. This string hammer action was invented by Bartolomeo Cristofori when he created the pianoforte around 1700.
Blüthner ALIQUOT PATENT since 1872
Generations of Grand Piano makers have been constantly attempting to improve the quality of their instruments. Julius Blüthner made an important contribution with the development of the Aliquot System.
Patented for the first time in 1872, it was one more step that provided Blüthner’s well known warm and romantic sound. The patented Blüthner Aliquot System consists of an additional fourth string in the treble section which is not struck by the hammer. The fourth string vibrates by resonance and introduces additional overtones which enrich the dynamic sound.
The Fourth String.
The fourth string is stimulated to vibrate through sympathetic resonance when the other three strings are struck, which results in an acoustical system enriching the overtone spectrum. It produces a very dynamic sound, which is audible over a wide range. This unique effect conveys the resonant treble of the Blüthner piano. As an example, it is possible to experience this special effect in many pianoforte compositions giving an added dimension in tone color and dynamics. Another factor that is that all Blüthner strings are individually hitched. For optimum effect, precise tuning is essential. In today’s instruments the ‘aliquot strings’ are tuned in unison with the trichords.
Many people are sceptical, but it is easy to test. Simply play a note alternately muting and then leaving the fourth string to vibrate.
