FEATURES
Open Soundboard
A custom double-laminated soundboard channels sound with precision, its ribless design delivers a pure, direct sound unmatched by traditional pianos. The open soundboard delivers the sound to the player without intermediate modulation, straight from the wood to the ear.
Stainless Steel Frame
High-grade stainless steel ensures durability, surpassing fragile cast frames for a piano that will last generations.
Lightweight
Weighing far less than standard pianos, the Una Corda is ideal for touring artists who demand acoustic excellence along with improved portability.
Tuning
No piano is easier to tune than the Una Corda. With some time and a little practice, you won’t need a specialist to keep your instrument in tune.
One String Per Note
A single string per note ensures not just a special sound, but perfect phase coherence of each individual note from the first strike to final decay, for unmatched clarity.
Customisable
Insertable modulation bars let you limitlessly experiment with materials, shaping unique sounds to match your vision. Paper, cotton, felt, plastic – the tonal capacity of the Una Corda is as unlimited as the user’s mind.
A NEW ICON OF EXPRESSION
In 2014, David Klavins brought the Una Corda to life, inspired by a meeting with Nils Frahm. Designed to offer a sound unlike any traditional piano, the Una Corda soon proved to be a tonal masterpiece, producing everything from bright crystalline bell tones, to warm felted whispers that are able to reach a mesmerising emotional depth.
Crafted for artists who seek originality and connection, the Una Corda S creates space for a deeper bond between player and instrument, allowing the most sensitive expression to resonate through every note.
