Not a refinement of what came before. A different answer to what a piano can be, how it should look, and what it should do for a home.
The traditional piano industry has worked to the same palette for generations. Black. White. Occasionally a veneer. The instrument arrives as the maker decided it should look, and the room arranges itself around it.
Edelweiss starts from a different position entirely.
Every piano we build is specified by the person who will own it, for the room it will live in. The finish, the colour, the material, the proportion — chosen, not inherited. Sygnet and Flügel are available in any colour. Aurora goes further. Any colour, any material, any finish. The full Farrow & Ball and Little Greene ranges as a starting point, and well beyond them when the brief demands it.
We have built pianos in hand-rubbed walnut, brushed copper, poured resin, gold leaf, and finishes that required us to develop entirely new processes. If you can describe what you want, we will find a way to build it.
No other piano maker offers this. Not as an exception. As standard.
Every Edelweiss piano comes with self-play fitted as standard. Not an upgrade. Not an optional addition. Every instrument, at every price point, includes it.
Choose a piece from the library on your iPad. Press play. The keys move. The music fills the room.
This is not a speaker system. Not a digital simulation. Felt hammers strike copper strings. A fully acoustic grand
The library holds 1,000 pieces. Classical, contemporary, and everything between. Expand to 5,000 when you are ready, or commission your own recordings. Any piece, any artist, made exclusively for your piano. The mechanism is completely invisible. Only the music is audible.
A piano should not sit silent. This one never will.
Aurora is designed and built in Cambridge, England. Every component sourced within Britain wherever possible. Its engineering is patented. The result of five decades spent restoring, understanding, and rethinking the finest pianos in the world.
It shares its footprint with Sygnet, our smallest grand. The similarity ends there.
The dynamic range runs from the softest pianissimo to a full, open voice that fills a room. The touch weight, the key return, the immediate connection between finger and sound. Aurora does not ask you to meet it halfway. It is already there.
Serious pianists who sit down at Aurora rarely reach for comparisons. They talk about the piano.
When no one is at the keys, self-play takes over. The instrument performs either way.
Three grand pianos. Each one distinct in character, purpose, and scale.
Sygnet is the world’s smallest grand piano. Characterful and design-led, as much a presence in the room as an instrument in the home. Available in any colour.
Aurora shares Sygnet’s footprint and nothing else. Patented engineering, an entirely British-built instrument, and a level of customisation that extends beyond colour to material and finish. For those who want the last word in what their piano is and how it looks.
Flügel is the full-scale grand. Commanding, uncompromising, built for rooms with the space to hold one. Available in any colour.
Every model includes self-play as standard. Every model is made to order in Cambridge.

Every piano we build is one of one. Yours begins with a conversation.
