Workshops such as these in the 21st century?

While looking at the photos you might ask yourself, “Is computer-generated production demonstrably superior to human craftsmanship?  Are there still secrets left in piano building that  can be heard and felt?”

To be sure, even mass-produced pianos have reached a high standard.  However, when it comes to instruments of exceeding excellence, nature and the artisanship play a central role.  To the true instrument maker, machines can only assist in the process, and excessive departure from the use of natural materials would detract from the sound ideal.  Luxury that you can feel, see and, above all, hear!
