Individu
Individu is Kaduk’s feasible, professional workhorse instrument line, developed for musicians who need a serious instrument that functions reliably in demanding, real-world contexts.
Where traditional concert instruments trade usability for monumentality, Individu focuses on what actually serves the musician: an instrument that can be deployed, played, and trusted wherever the work happens.
The Instrument
Individu is a professional artistic workhorse, developed for musicians who take their work seriously — both artistically and economically.
It is built to perform, to travel, and to be used intensively, without asking the musician to adapt to the instrument or compensate for its limitations.
The instrument prioritises precision, ergonomics, directness, and control.
Its touch is light, its response is immediate and predictable, allowing the player to work efficiently, make decisions with confidence, and maintain consistency across different contexts and repertoires.
Universality is central to the Individu line.
The instrument is intended to function equally well in studio, teaching, rehearsal, recording, and concert environments — not by excelling in one at the expense of the others, but by remaining reliable and musically authoritative everywhere.
Individu exists to give serious musicians uncompromised access to a precise and capable artistic tool — one that supports professional practice, sustained performance, and control over both sound and situation.
Sound and Acoustic Behaviour
Individu is equipped with a soundboard system designed to deliver a large, open, and well-projected tone within a practical and transportable instrument format.
The sound is developed to remain clear, spacious, and stable across a wide dynamic range, allowing the instrument to function convincingly in concert environments without requiring the scale or inertia of traditional concert grands.
Unlike Tendens, Individu does not pursue acoustic expansion beyond physical limits.
Its soundboard operates within conventional acoustic principles, but is optimised for efficiency, immediacy, and control, resulting in an instrument that speaks freely, develops tone quickly, and maintains clarity under load.
This approach preserves directness and predictability in the playing experience.
The pianist encounters an instrument that responds proportionally, sustains space without force, and remains musically authoritative without introducing delay or excess mass.
Individu’s acoustic design reflects its purpose:
a serious, reliable instrument that delivers an open and capable sound, while remaining feasible, portable, and controllable in daily professional use.
