Stuart & Sons pianos take advantage of modern materials such as zirconia, ceramicsand stainless steel, as well as local timbers
including King William and Queensland hooppines. These instruments have eight octaves(F 21.8268 to f 5587.6517 hertz) and fourpedals: sostenuto, sostenuto a scelta, dolcemuto and dolce (which reduces striking distance and key depth).
Wayne Stuart believes that the piano’scontinued survival depends on innovationand change to remain vital and relevant,a conviction reflected in the fundamentalchanges to the art of piano-making initiatedby this pioneering Tasmanian.
