There is only one recipe to achieve the best quality:
using the best quality ingredients, the many years of experience in the industry and the willingness of spending countless hours of work perfecting the instruments…
When it comes to quality Arpad doesn’t compromise. He always chooses the best possible parts for the pianos. He has over twenty years of hands-on experience working with the best quality parts available on the world, like Hamburg Steinway and other special Renner parts.
