Congrats Billie Eilish & FINNEAS!
In 2024 Billie Eilish won an Academy Award for Best Original Song and two Grammy Awards for Song of the Year and Best Song.
The song became the tenth song in history to win both an Academy Award for Best Original Song and a Grammy Award for Song of the Year and Eilish became the youngest person to win two Academy Awards in any category.
Billie Eilish wrote the song "What Was I Made For?" for the soundtrack of the 2023 Barbie movie. It was recorded and performed on a Petrof upright piano.

Walk through any piano showroom today and ask the staff what's bringing new customers through the door. The answer, with surprising frequency, is a name — Yunchan Lim — or a platform — TikTok. The viral explosion of classical piano performance on short-form video is not a marketing campaign dreamed up by record labels or conservatories. It is an organic, viewer-driven phenomenon that is reshaping who listens to classical music, who buys pianos, and what they want to play when they get home.
Piano manufacturing is, by its nature, a materials-intensive craft. A modern grand piano contains roughly 12,000 individual components. It requires carefully selected hardwoods — spruce, maple, beech, walnut — sourced from forests in multiple countries. It uses felt, leather, metal alloys, and chemical finishes. Building one well takes skilled labor spanning months.
In January 2026, the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas included something that would have seemed out of place a decade ago: a piano technology exhibit generating genuine buzz alongside the televisions, smartphones, and AI gadgets that dominate the show floor. The products on display — connected instruments, app-integrated learning systems, multi-device MIDI setups — weren't novelties. They were the direction the piano industry is heading.
