We not only produce all our electronics and software in-house, but also manufacture the base plates and keys for our organ keyboards ourselves – a welcome change from desk work!

Each keyboard is unique and begins with the selection of suitable raw timber from the wood dealer. Whenever possible, we avoid endangered precious woods and use high-quality alternatives. Theoretically, you can even send us wood from your pear tree (or apple, plum, cherry, maple…) and we will dry it for you!

After delivery, we first plane the raw wooden planks flat on a jointer. We differentiate between key blanks (8 naturals or 15 sharps each) made of spruce wood and sawn veneers for both naturals and sharps.

In the second step, we bring both to the desired thickness using a thickness planer.
Further processing takes place on computer-controlled milling machines, which is why very precise planing is essential.

On these so-called CNC machines, the bores for guide pins, magnets, and necessary cutouts of the key blanks are milled fully automatically.

Subsequently, we glue your desired veneer onto the blanks. The board for the key tops is then glued onto the veneer of the sharp key blocks. After drying, we finally saw the glued key blocks into individual keys.

Did you know that each individual natural key has its own dimensions? C and F, for example, may look identical at first glance, but the width of the cutout for the sharp key actually varies by a few tenths of a millimeter!

Now begins the part that no CNC machine can (yet) take over from us: sanding the rough-sawn keys. As time-consuming as this work is, the result is simply worth it!

We offer various surface finishes – the finer the sanding and the glossier the key surface, the more slippery it becomes. A semi-matte finish with a not-too-fine grit, however, offers a pleasantly velvety yet tactile playing feel.

No matter which finish you choose – after several years of intensive use, your fingers will most likely have polished the key surfaces smooth. Then the time has come to restore the original condition of your keyboards in our workshop! Please feel free to contact us for this.

By the way: All parts of our keyboards are interchangeable and available as spare parts!
