Manufacture of the Piano
1999


The goal was double: to have finally the true touch of the piano (that no keyboard even in the very top-of-the-range one can imitate) and to have something which does not have a head of typewriter on scene.

The receipt is simple: one takes a grand piano and one grafts to him in the belly the electronics of a main keyboard midday… one to some extent connects all that to a sampler last cry… of the high-tech under an old trunk…

There were large adaptations to make, as well in electronics as in cabinet work, but the result was worth largely the sorrow of it. Cavity for each concert it is a true removal… but one does that the every day for the concerts of classical music, then… are not afraid of the kilos!


The piano was almost entirely emptied. Only the keys and the hammers were kept.

Electronics hides under the ivory keys.


The Finished Hybrid: a cross grand piano of a main keyboard midday…
