After hearing about an amazing healing experience by a scientist with his sound experiment in the Giza Pyramid Kings Chamber, we decided to get a similar stone from the same quarry. Thankfully, they still mined the Aswan quarry, so after 2 years of logistics a slab of this precious Rose Granite was imported into the United States to match the King's chamber’s granite in the Giza Pyramid! So was born the Pyramid Piano Prototype #4.
Pyramid Piano
Weber 4th prototype with Rose Granite from Egypt
This Piano is a very unique and special, as we chose to engage many liberties concerning height and width of the bridge. Increasing the bridge to about twice the weight was a gutsy move to say the least, yet the bridge held, which proved the top pins in wood were supporting the pressure to bend the stone, but not break it (incredible).
We chose a different stone for the first time to determine if there would be any variations when the sound went through a different material matrix. The sound produced was described as "ethereal" (heavenly) by a piano tuner/store owner, as he commented that the treble sounded very " bellish" and soothing, like the tone that the European pianos manufacturers attempt to achieve. What was amazing is that this American made Weber baby grand piano brand built back in the 1930’s never sounded this good even when new, yet this was accomplished on an old restored American piano with a granite bridge! He also said it appears we could make any old piano sound great.
This piano demonstrated consistently the ability to clear sinus issues and helped the lungs breathe easier, much to our amazement. It generated many questions regarding how these effects were produced by this granite bridge piano. Was it coming from a dense stone that was formed in a desert environment just drying things out, or from an internal makeup of pink stone being different than all the others?
Pink stone is said to have a subtle magnetic quality that others do not have, although we’re not sure if that’s positive or negative, but just what we find out from other sources. Whatever the reason, we certainly are thankful for making our life better.
