About

Vidal is Tom Rudnitsky, a classically trained pianist and piano rebuilder, and George Hilliard, a software and embedded systems engineer.

Dissatisfied with the feel of the digital pianos, keyboards, and MIDI controllers on the market today, we set out to create a new digital instrument that finally felt like the real thing. With Tom’s experience as a classically-trained pianist and piano rebuilder, and George’s experience in electronics, software, and embedded systems, we designed and built a completely new instrument from the ground up.

At each step of the design process we’ve sought to understand and replicate the design details that makes grand pianos so satisfying to play. By using real materials, engineering our own keybed, and testing and iterating our design through dozens of prototypes across two years of development, we’ve created an instrument that finally captures the feeling of playing a real grand piano.
