Challenge:

Faulk Piano Service, a small business that assists with piano manufacturing, piano restoration, and concert level piano work, came to AMI with a prototype of a piano tuning hammer and needed assistance in streamlining the design.

Solution:

AMI assisted Faulk Piano Service with the design of its tuning hammer and identified better materials to produce the product and improve its performance. The new tuning hammers are made of carbon fiber aluminum instead of titanium, which makes the tools lighter and easier to use. AMI also assisted with the manufacturing of the new tuning head.
