Description
Kemble are no longer a British Piano.
They moved their factory from England to Indonesia.
If Kemble pianos and Yamaha pianos were assembled in the same factory, are they the same piano?
Essentially they are almost the same pianos. The parts are the same but the cabinets are different.
You will find that Kemble pianos have a slightly warmer sound, this is due to the voicing process
undertaken in the Kemble factory. Voicing is a method that tones down the brightness of the piano,
this is achieved by prodding pins in to the piano hammers.
Fifty to sixty years ago there were lots of piano factories in the UK and owning a piano was very common.
Since the introduction of digital pianos, upright pianos have continued to get less and less popular,
but Kemble have broken this trend and are continuing to grow from strength to strength.
Kemble are one of the few piano makers that produce the silent piano. Silent pianos can be used with headphones so they are great if you want to play late at night or if you don’t want anyone to hear you.
