“Whatever I do, whatever the instrument,
above all I seek the beauty of sound.”

— Benjamin Renoux

A territory few
craftsmen in the
world inhabit

An independent piano maker for nearly twenty years, I occupy a rare space between history and precision. My Alsatian workshop combines traditional craftsmanship with a CNC milling machine capable of accommodating an entire piano — precise to a hundredth of a millimetre.
