#custommusicalinstruments

Part of my work philosphy is constant iteration. With every single new keyset I create for a client's piano, my goal is to - in some way - it doesn't matter really how at this point... be it a component design, material upgrade, geometry element, craftsmanship aspect, CAD/CAM programming, etc... but just that that in some "key" way - that in the end, this new machine will be the best one I've ever made. 9 years and a hundred and something custom #steinway grand #piano keyboards later, they are actually getting pretty good. 😉🎹 #finecustompianokeys #madeindetroit #playedallovertheworld #craftsmanship #makersmark #custommusicalinstruments #SUNY1916SteinwayD (at Detroit Pianoworks)

Oh yeah. I think this is She Oak. Whatever it is it makes a nice fingerboard. #bespokeguitars #customguitars #bespokemusicalinstruments #custommusicalinstruments #woodwork #luthier #woodplane #handbuildingtechniques #solera #plantilla #moldbuilding #concertclassical #design #guitardesign #guitars #music #singersongwriter #guitarcollections #guitarcollector #musicians #musictomyears #dj #electronica #beattopia #nofilter #radiusdishes #toolmaking #travellerguitar #childrensguitars #camclamps (at Melbourne, Victoria, Australia)

Making radiused sanding pads/blocks from recycled mdf. #bespokeguitars #customguitars #bespokemusicalinstruments #custommusicalinstruments #woodwork #luthier #woodplane #handbuildingtechniques #solera #plantilla #moldbuilding #concertclassical #design #guitardesign #guitars #music #singersongwriter #guitarcollections #guitarcollector #musicians #musictomyears #dj #electronica #beattopia #nofilter #radius dishes

Putting the finishing touches to one of the radius dishes. A layer of 12mm ply as the base for the mdf. This stops the mdf shifting in the unlikely event of a humidity differential affecting the mold/jig.#bespokeguitars #customguitars #bespokemusicalinstruments #custommusicalinstruments #woodwork #luthier #woodplane #handbuildingtechniques #solera #plantilla #moldbuilding #concertclassical #design #guitardesign #guitars #music #singersongwriter #guitarcollections #guitarcollector #musicians #musictomyears #dj #electronica #beattopia #nofilter #radius dishes

Et voila. 25' radius dish for shaping sanding blocks to make a top camber mold, amongst other things.

Pretty boring photo but this is the beginning of a radius dish, used to produce a camber in the back and top of the guitar. Different curves for different parts of different guitars. Better projection and volume. #bespokeguitars #customguitars #bespokemusicalinstruments #custommusicalinstruments #woodwork #luthier #woodplane #handbuildingtechniques #solera #plantilla #moldbuilding #concertclassical #design #guitardesign #guitars #music #singersongwriter #guitarcollections #guitarcollector #musicians #musictomyears #dj #electronica #beattopia #nofilter

Necks, heel blocks, sides, bindings, braces and tops.
