Ever wanted to build an piano? Here's your chance. We developed a lightweight acoustic piano and strive to optimize our design for manufacturing and production production processes, to catch the attention of the many piano enthusiasts out there that prefer acoustic sound and value practicality and affordability. You will get the chance to work with modern production methods and see your ideas turn into real life solutions on a challenging and versatile product that enables great design expression balancing tradition and modernity. Our mission is to bring diversity and accessibility to the world of acoustic pianos. We are convinced that the acoustic piano can intrigue many enthusiasts with the way it is constructed, which has led us to the design philosophy of form follows function and construction elements being visible rather than covered. We want to open the black box many pianos currently still seem to be.
We aim to have the practicality and affordability of a digital piano without giving up on the acoustic sound and authentic feeling of the keys. We believe that musical expression through the use of acoustic instruments is so valuable that there should be more affordable and practical alternatives on the market. We have already sold and delivered more than 200 pianos. Currently we are in the production development phase for new models and more European manufactured models. Many things are happening at the moment, so if you like the process of starting a company and all the little side things that happen in such a process, that will be to your advantage.
After a solid introduction to certain parts of the functionality and production philosophy you will work with optimizing processes "by doing" in combination with design, CAD, CAM and CNC of new production aids and methods.
You are expected to be a self-starter, willing to learn to work with CAD and CNC based on initial experience.
We are flexible on the timeline of the internship however we expect a minimum of 3 months. If we work well together and you express an interest, you will be offered a continued employment.
Our ideal candidate:
