The "scale" of the piano determines the eventual tone of the instrument. The design of the piano's scale is therefore extremely important. Samick commissioned the world renowned Klaus Fenner from Germany to design all of their new instruments. He incorporated a "German Scale Design" in all of his pianos. This design pulls the string to a higher tension than normal, which tames the string divisions, resulting in a pleasing tone to the human ear. Samick uses Roslau Piano Strings from Germany to produce this tone. A Hard Maple Pinblock holds the strings at the pins. The virgin cast iron plate holds the string at the other end. Samick produce their own Spruce Soundboards which are Surface tensioned for durability and tone.
