“Linda Gould’s 30-year mission to redefine the keyboard for everyone."
Don't let a "standard" hold back
her talent.
The traditional keyboard was standardized over a century ago for a world that ignored the needs of most players.
​
For too long, children, most women, and many men have been forced to adapt their bodies to an oversized instrument. We believe your reach should never limit your repertoire.
Narrow key pianos are more than an alternative—they are the key to playing with the comfort, control, and power your talent deserves.
Precision
Performance
Not a Toy
The Athena™ is a high-performance instrument engineered for serious pianists who require a smaller scale without compromising on professional quality.
