Upright Furniture Co.

Started in 1995, the Upright Furniture Company is a collaboration between Tinkertunes Music Studio and Feldkamp Design. Our custom designed desks are created from the cabinets of old upright pianos that have no value as instruments and would otherwise end up in a landfill.

 

“My hope in making my instruments, is that anyone and everyone may experience the joy of making and sharing music, as I have experienced throughout my life.”
