Hammer Shanks
A WNG Carbon Tube Shank's strength is as strong as the strongest wooden shank, but doesn't have the variability in quality that wood does. You can be sure that every WNG Carbon Tube Shank is as strong as the one next to it, and that any piano action equipped with WNG's Carbon Tube Shanks will see a notable increase in power, consistency, and longevity.
Mass
More uniform than wooden shanks, WNG shanks allow the smooth graduation of inertia from note to note, resulting in a more even touch response felt in the fingers. Pianists can focus more on expression and phrasing, without being distracted by inconsistencies in some keys compared to their neighbors.
Strength
The tighter uniformity of WNG composite shanks greatly reduces the variance from shank to shank, eliminating the inconsistencies found in wooden shanks. A player’s pianissimos will benefit from the greater uniformity, and thunderous fortissimos are more predictably unleashed.
Emergence
WNG composite shanks are only a part of the whole picture, and will work in concert with additional groundbreaking WNG components. With all of these components working together, what emerges is a system that allows the technician and the player to get the most out of their instruments.
