Hailun piano from 2001 began to produce pianos, the introduction of Japan's full CNC production line, and from Europe, the United States and Japan hired a number of experts for guidance, in the past ten years of development is very fast, China's first into the Vienna Golden Hall and permanent Golden Hall piano is from Helen. In the 2017 edition of Piano Buyer, Helen was selected for the Premium level of consumer pianos (second only to Professional), making it the highest-ranked Chinese brand. In the early years, 80% of the pianos produced by Helen were exported to Europe, America and Japan, which is very rare among domestic manufacturers, so Helen is more famous abroad than in China, and recently its sales in China have increased, and the sales at home and abroad have gradually leveled off.
The best-selling entry-level upright pianos in China are WL122 and 120SE, WL122 is a product of Helen Wendlong, priced at 19,300 yuan, using a trapezoidal soundboard structure of unequal thickness and width, which can maximize the effective vibration area of the soundboard, especially increase the effective vibration area of the middle and high registers. When the strings vibrate, different frequencies resonate with the corresponding areas of the soundboard, and the soundboard and arc design of unequal thickness give full play to the resonance effect of the soundboard and different frequency vibration waves.
From the perspective of cost performance, I would recommend the 120SE, priced at 13,500 yuan. The bass and midrange strings of the Hailun 120SE are curved like those of Yamaha and KAWAI, and are more difficult to produce than straight ones. The British Hans Wooss keyboard felt, the Japanese Ambik strings, the German Roslau strings, and the solid wood soundboard of the fish scale spruce also make the 120SE sound more solid, the grain is clearer, and the sound area transition is exceptionally balanced and natural, which is very rare in this price range. From the point of view of details, the workmanship is far more than other brands of 10,000-level upright pianos, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the first choice of 10,000-level pianos.
In addition to some entry-level pianos, Helen's high-end upright pianos, small grand pianos, and grand pianos are very well accepted abroad, especially the American piano seller Brigham Larson Piano, who even compared Helen, Yamaha and Kawai sideways, and Helen is not lagging behind, which is worth recommending.
