2. panel: box type and plate, full veneer and integrated board

Box piano with sound box, sound thick, strong resonance, ethereal timbre, good live performance. Beginners are preferred to box pianos. Panel piano is a whole solid wood, no sound box, but the sound is crisp, each key sound will be clearer, more often with the pickup link speaker performance.

Full skin for a natural solid wood, sound conduction fast, to achieve full resonance, silent loss, pure tone.

The board is compressed with three boards. The conduction loss of sound is large, the volume is small, and the timbre is mixed, which is not as ethereal as the veneer.
