Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Piano assembly workers precisely assemble various parts of pianos based on blueprints, perform adjustments and inspections, and complete the product as specialists.
Description
Piano assembly workers assemble diverse parts such as soundboards, frames, action mechanisms, and exteriors, and perform fine adjustments and operational inspections. Following manufacturing blueprints and process specifications, they use tools for joining, screwing, and gluing operations, while checking gaps between parts and operational accuracy as they proceed with the work. After assembly, they check touch sensitivity and key action performance, and if there are any defects, they make adjustments before handing over to the tuner. Skilled manual labor and precision processing techniques are required.
Future Outlook
Domestic piano production is on a declining trend, but demand for high-value-added models and the repair/maintenance market remains steady. While productivity improvements are expected from the introduction of automation technology, the need for skilled assembly technicians is expected to persist.
