From Computer Design to the physical world, this is George F. Emerson's CAD rendering of the Cunningham Plate based on the original Philadelphia Scale Design and Mr. Emerson's ideas involving plate mass and bridge tensions.
Picture
Like waiting for an expected child, the Cunningham team travels to the foundry to inspect and approve the bass-wood rendering of the new plate design.  The molds can be seen in the background.  Enjoy the production pics to follow!

Ribbing and bridge placement are all part of scale design. This is part of what makes the Matchless Cunningham a unique musical instrument.

Braces are added to the maple rim for strength, durability, and stability.

The soundboard is carefully joined to the rim. This bond is crucial to support the intended tone of the piano.

This set of keys is waiting for preparation and installation into a piano. Each key set is weighed off individually for the piano into which it is installed. 
The action is now complete and awaiting regulation and installation into a piano.

Installing an action into a piano requires adjustment, voicing, and re-adjustment for the parts to work as required. Every Matchless Cunningham receives finishing at our Philadelphia facility before it is delivered.
