The tuning stability, finish and overall musical integrity are enhanced over the long life expected of a fine piano.  At the Yamaha lumber mill and wood processing facility, the finest spruce is quarter sawn; and less than 10% of the total is selected and reserved for Yamaha piano soundboards. Solid spruce, rather than laminated spruce or poplar, is the choice in all fine pianos for the best amplification of sound, best tone and sustain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFull Length Ribs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYamaha reinforces the crown in its soundboards by using ribs that continue to the edge of the soundboard, and are glued into the notched liner (or inner rim on the grand piano).
