When U2 called us to build them a beautiful piano shell, they knew they wanted a different look than what the standard modern digital piano had to offer. They wanted a classic black old school Fender Rhodes vibe.
We had handcrafted cabinet shells before for other artists; but U2 needed the shell in 4 days for the first night of the Joshua Tree Worldwide tour. Needless to say our veteran team instantly went to work and accomplished the goal; doing what it takes to get the job done on time with the highest quality.
We are honored that U2 thought of us first to handle such a timely and important job for them. We are also very proud of the work we performed and are happy to share it with everyone.
