Driven by her creativity, craftsmanship and a deep passion for music, Lisa Maria Aschl, from Aistersheim, Austria, has produced an extraordinary masterpiece. Her elegant musical instrument cabinet is a statement piece, not only with its high-precision production values, but also its many different functions, to which the high-quality TECTUS hinge system has also made a significant contribution.

It was not initially clear which musical instrument would be the focus of her masterpiece. “Inspiration for my masterpiece ranged from a wooden saxophone case to a grand piano. I eventually decided to give an old piano a face lift,” said Lisa Maria Aschl.
Her passion for her craft and her innate connection with music can be seen in every detail of this unique instrument case. In addition to this, various storage options are concealed in this piece of furniture which are not visible at first glance. “What is unique about my masterpiece is that it is not possible to see all the different components when it is closed. Opening the two doors of the cabinet reveals sheet music and a piano stool on the left-hand side, while storage for an alto saxophone, with drawers above for its accessories, are hidden behind the right-hand door.” The centrepiece of this hand-made cabinet is an exquisite piano made in 1909 by the Royal Court Piano Manufacturers Lauberger & Gloss.
The TECTUS hinge system in a brass finish was chosen to support the heavy cabinet doors. The concealed hinges not only offer extreme functionality but also allow a flush-fitting appearance which was very important to Lisa Maria Aschl: “I needed robust hinges which could cope with the high demands without detracting from the appearance of my piece of furniture.” The hinges’ elegant colour gives the instrument case a special look and provides a stylish contrast to the dark-stained elements of the piece.
