Hailun Piano Factory in Ningbo, China

Hailun Piano's Ningbo factory produces 8,000 pianos per year for the exploding Chinese domestic market as well as export markets around the world.

Hailun's production processes represent a meticulous balance between stateof- the-art computer-controlled tooling such as the five-axis CNC machine shown above and hundreds of man-hours of handwork thoroughly schooled in European piano making traditions.

Hailun's apprentice program draws the brightest talent from engineering students at the Ningbo Institute of Technology. Every Hailun worker is trained for one to four years, depending on the position, before they’re allowed to work on pianos for the market.

A Hailun worker installs actions at the company’s Ningbo factory. All Hailun employees are trained for at least a year before being permitted to worked on pianos destined for the market.
