Kaduk Improved Piano Interfaces
KiPi
LISTEN
and you'll see
Start a genuine dialog with your instrument.
KIPI delivers unmatched responsiveness through a reimagined keyboard and action.
KIPI is not affordable. It’s not reasonable. It’s just better.
Built for Directness
Every nuance, every impulse — instantly translated
Interface
Not a keyboard. Not an action.
A fully engineered interface between human and instrument — tuned to the limits of physical performance.
Unique
Every KIPI system is a one-off, designed from scratch to optimize your instrument’s response to your hands. Geometry, stiffness, mass distribution, friction tuning — every detail is calculated from first principles. Nothing is copied. Nothing left to chance.
Relentless
Born from over a decade of obsessive development inside the Kaduk design lab, the KIPI interface redefines what’s physically possible in acoustic playability. The work is silent, mechanical, and absolute — resulting in a control so complete, it disappears.
Mechanical Performance
This isn’t about nostalgia.
It’s about precision.
Speed. Clarity. Stability.
Evenness across every key.
Unmatched responsiveness.
Stable
Built entirely from composite materials, each interface is dimensionally stable, humidity-proof, and impossible to twist — even in extended or asymmetric formats. Play it in July or January. In Salzburg or Tokyo. The result is the same.
KIPI is not traditional.
It’s just better.

Our
Story
About the soul of KiPi
Keyboards and actions today are made for production.
Not for performance.
Even the best historic systems weren’t built for consistency, adaptability, or the level of nuance the finest players demand.
KIPI creates complete piano interfaces — each one engineered from scratch for a single instrument and a single player. Every key, action, and component is designed, simulated, and produced to match the physical and musical requirements of that one setup.
We make everything.
Not a single component is off-the-shelf.
Because control isn't just technical.
It’s emotional.
Commissioning
Each KIPI project is individually designed, precisely built, and personally installed. There are no variants, no shortcuts — just one goal: the best possible interface between you and your instrument.
KIPI projects typically range from €63,000 to €80,000, depending on the instrument, location, and installation specifics.
We’ll quote you transparently after the first consultation.
We work with a small number of clients each year to ensure every instrument meets the highest possible standards — both mechanically and musically.
