Diapason Piano 2013/12/04 　 　DIAPASON has been manufactured since 1948. 　Their pianos are designed by Mr. Bangan Ohhashi, 　reputed craftsman of Japan piano industry. 　He seeked sounds of European pianos, and the piano 　sounds are regarded as "similar to Bechstein." 　Some of Diapason pianos have "OHHASHI DESIGN" carved seal 　on their iron frame, and this indicates the pianos are 　manufactured along with scale design by Mr. Bangan Ohhashi. 　Currently, many Diapason pianos are manufactured 　in Kawai factory, and this leads to great balance 　of consistent quality and sound philosophy. 　The philosophy can be seen from single-bind strings 　(only high-class European pianos use this design), 　and superior action parts made by Renner Action and Roslau Wire. 　Comparing with other brands, there are relatively more numbers of 　Diapason pianos in market and stock, so please have chance to 　try this great instrument.
