The Collard & Collard U122 upright piano is a professional 122cm tall traditional cabinet instrument that has been designed for pianists who demand the highest standards of tone, touch and durability for heavy professional use.
Unique scaling by a European master piano designer matched with premium components and materials make the Collard & Collard U122 an exceptional instrument, ideal for home, teaching studios, performance venues and discerning pianists at all skill levels.
The larger soundboard surface area produces a tone comparable to that of smaller grand pianos and the action is expertly designed to allow for an inspiring dynamic range.
The solid spruce back-posts with offset placement ensure superior tone balance and tuning stability by offering enhanced support for the higher tension treble section and enabling a lower tension bass section (as seen on leading higher priced upright pianos) which results in a smooth resonant bass, a dolce singing treble and powerful warm middle section.
