Our Story.

At Narrow Key Pianos, we're excited to introduce the Athena Digital Piano, featuring narrow keys designed for easier, more comfortable, and expressive playing for those with smaller hands. With its 5.5" octave, Athena ensures that everyone can fully enjoy the beauty of music.

​

Our founders, Linda Gould and Kathy Strauch, are passionate pianists who faced these challenges firsthand. Over five years ago, they united with a vision to make music more accessible, partnering with a leading keyboard factory to create a high-quality, affordable instrument.

​

The result is the Athena Digital Piano: an exclusive, expertly crafted design that delivers premium sound and comfort, empowering you to play your best from the first note.
