Musical instrument and audio equipment makers produce instruments and audio equipment. They work with a range of high quality musical instruments. These are often made to existing specifications. Audio equipment and some instruments may also include electronic components. Software and digital compatibility are also increasingly often needed to manufacture instruments and components.
Making each type of instrument requires different materials and techniques. Traditional tools such as saws, planes and lathes may be used for many processes.
Makers of modern instruments such as electronic keyboards may use electronic components. Audio equipment may be factory produced with a range of components bought in.
Precision and accuracy are essential in the work of a music and audio manufacturer. Materials and instruments are expensive and the manufacturing process is time consuming, so mistakes are costly.
