Fundament
Coming Soon
Fundament is Kaduk’s preparatory instrument line, developed to form correct technique, physical position, and musical control from the very beginning.
It exists to prepare pianists for the instruments of the future, not for legacy pianos shaped by historical constraints.
Fundament gives students access to the same design logic, ergonomics, and clarity of response that define Kaduk’s advanced instruments.
The Instrument
Fundament is built as a serious educational instrument, not a simplified or compromised one.
It focuses on what matters most in early and intermediate development: reliable touch, consistent geometry, and a healthy physical relationship with the keyboard.
The instrument is designed to prevent the formation of habits that later have to be unlearned.
By prioritising ergonomics, proportional response, and clarity of feedback, Fundament allows pupils to develop technique and musical awareness that transfers directly to advanced instruments such as Individu and Tendens.
Fundament introduces modularity as a practical educational tool.
Its detachable keyboard allows students to practice silently or in different locations, while remaining part of a complete instrument when connected to its soundboard system.
Fundament generates natural sound with the help of a compact soundboard, providing acoustic feedback that supports listening, touch, and musical development during study and teaching.
The soundboard is sized deliberately for its role: to give clarity and realism without prioritising projection or scale.
This approach supports modern learning realities without separating practice from musical intent.
The keyboard remains the reference point — sound production adapts to context, not the other way around.
Fundament exists to give young musicians access to serious tools early, so that artistic development is supported rather than constrained from the outset.
FUNDAMENT ACCESS
Fundament is designed for beginners and early-stage students. It is intended for private homes, teaching studios, and educational institutions. Fundament can be purchased as a complete instrument. For families or institutions where this is not immediately possible, we also offer a structured alternative: the frame with soundboard is purchased, and the keyboard is rented. This allows students to start properly and adapt the keyboard as they develop, without replacing the entire instrument. Keyboard Rental and Swap Model In the rental configuration, the keyboard is rented and remains Kaduk property. The keyboard can be swapped as the student grows, according to the rules below. Pricing (reference) Fundament frame (purchase): €4,500 Keyboard rental: €83 / month Keyboard swaps One keyboard swap per year: €1,500 (old keyboard returned) Additional swaps within the same year: €3,000 per swap (same terms as for purchased instruments) This structure ensures flexibility for normal growth, while discouraging unnecessary or frequent changes. All prices shown exclude applicable taxes or delivery.
