While certainly ideal for all of the important sound-producing elements of a piano, wood was woefully inadequate for many of the critical components found in a piano&#8217;s action.<\/p>\n<p>The problems? First, wood was susceptible to breakage when subjected to continual high stress. But far more troublesome was wood&#8217;s tendency to shrink and swell dramatically with changes in climate.<\/p>\n<p>Lacking alternatives, piano makers simply accepted the shortcoming of wood, forcing piano technicians to &#8220;treat the symptoms&#8221; by replacing failed wood parts and making continual adjustments. But Kawai craftsmen remained troubled&#8230; for they knew that these inherent weaknesses of wood posed a serious threat to the quality and character of a piano&#8217;s touch and tone.<\/p>\n<div class=\"row\"  id=\"row-1941799922\">\n\n\t<div id=\"col-2106601738\" class=\"col small-12 large-12\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner text-center\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n<a href=\"https:\/\/kawaius.com\/technology\/abs\/the-symptoms\/\" class=\"button alert\"  style=\"border-radius:10px;\">\n\t\t<span>The Symptoms<\/span>\n\t<i class=\"icon-angle-right\" aria-hidden=\"true\" ><\/i><\/a>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n<style>\n#row-597845107 > .col > .col-inner {\n  padding: 25px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"parent":1976,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"page-blank.php","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-2027","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kawaius.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2027","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kawaius.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kawaius.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kawaius.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kawaius.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2027"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kawaius.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2027\/revisions"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kawaius.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1976"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kawaius.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2027"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
