Until recently piano construction by a single builder was out of the question. Too many guarded secrets, lack of knowhow, complicated and expensive machinery and infrastructure all wrapped in mystique – all until a group of piano designers mainly from the U.S.A. and under the Piano Technicians Guild (www.PTG.org) made the first step.

Today the art of the handmade grand piano is widely practiced mainly in the U.S.A., Canada and Australia being one of the ruling options of the professionals.
