Overs Piano
Overs Piano is an Australian brand of grand piano, owned by Ron Overs. Overs specialises in the manufacture of grand pianos, as well as their restoration and rebuilding.
Design[edit]
Overs Pianos have been active in piano design, and their work in this field has resulted in them becoming a member of the Australian Technology Showcase.[1][better source needed] In 1999, Ron Overs designed a new grand piano action which has considerably less friction, also providing a more exact diction than other grand piano actions. In 2003, after ten years of work, Overs developed a structurally and tonally improved soundboard design.[2][better source needed]
In 2004, the New South Wales Treasurer and Minister for State Development, Michael Egan, stated that Overs' piano technology "is rapidly establishing Overs Pianos as a world leader in piano design".[3]
Recordings[edit]
Numerous recordings have been made with Overs pianos by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, including recordings made on the piano owned by the Sydney Conservatorium of Music.[4]
