🎹 Today’s piano-making episode is all about black keys.
“A piano has black and white keys. To make music, we need them both.”
Simple words, yet they have stayed with me for years. Perhaps because they remind us that harmony is born not from sameness, but from the coming together of contrasts.
Many of you affectionately named our master craftsman Geppetto after his last workshop video. Today, he is carefully gluing the black keys—one by one, with the same patience, precision, and quiet dedication that have shaped Estonia pianos for generations.
Most pianists will never see this part of the journey. Yet every touch, every phrase, every melody begins with countless small acts of craftsmanship like this one.
Because before there is music, there are hands.
