Handmade: fire, hammer and listening

Everything begins with fire. Heat prepares the metal and leaves a thermal patina on its surface—variations in color that paint cannot reproduce and that change from one piece to another.

Then comes the hammer. Strike by strike, the sheet gains the right curve and tension. There is no stamping: repeated gestures define how the instrument will vibrate.

Finally comes listening. Tuning is done by ear, adjusting the length and thickness of each tongue until the scale settles. It is the slowest step and the one that separates a good instrument from an ordinary one.

The result is a unique piece with its own surface and color marks. Your instrument will not be repeated—and that is exactly the intention.
