Released "The Metallic Art Piano," the only piano in the world.

A piano with a unique personality. Each piano has its own unique characteristics. This is partly because the material is wood, which has individual differences as a living thing, and partly because it is a process that is done by hand. Of course, it is an advantage for the instrument, not a disadvantage. Individuality is the first step to art. Different grains, different sounds, and different resonances are key to the inspiration that the piano boasts. In order to further sublimate the individuality of this piano, we, Nikkyo Gakki, will start selling the "The Metallic Art Piano" series, which uses metal decoration processing to create a unique expression. The special metal coating “VeroMetal®” born in Germany was adopted. It is a liquid type metal that can be applied to any material, and the lineup of copper, brass, and iron creates a real metal film. By adding decorative processing by craftsmen, it becomes a colorful and diverse metal look. Piano to metal furnitureIt is said that the piano penetration rate in Japan is about 25% of all households. It has a great penetration rate worldwide, and it is amazing that there is such a rich music climate. We at Nikkyo Gakki believe that the cultural potential of the piano in Japan is immeasurable. As one of the conclusions of thinking about how to connect this richness to the next generation without losing it, we have launched the "Reborn Project" in 2020. The theme is to give a sleeping piano a new life as a piano, as a metal furniture, and as an interior item by applying metal decoration processing. Immediately after starting the project, we were fascinated by the appeal of the metal decoration processing technology. As a company that handles musical instruments, we were satisfied with not only the excellent metallic finish, but also the fact that it was possible to achieve an extremely diverse range of expressions, and that it did not have a negative impact on sound quality. As we celebrate the 75th anniversary of our founding, we had a strong desire to focus on the popularization of music and the provision of musical instruments with new value, aiming for the next 100 years. That is why we decided to not only renovate pianos, but also develop new products. As a result, we decided to announce the highest quality grand piano and upright piano with metal decoration treatment at the same time. Started offering three product groups. This time, we will announce three products. All items are individually decorated after receiving an order. Please see the product details below. ■ "The Metallic Art Piano" Product List
