For people who would rather build one than buy another.
Ambry is a tiny UK studio making desk-sized instruments you print and build yourself. The first is EP-1, a one-octave electric piano designed for Bambu Lab printers, though other printers work too.

What is Ambry
Ambry is a small instrument studio in the UK. We design desk-sized instruments that you can build at home, and we document each step. We prefer clear drawings to big claims, and slow releases to loud ones. If something is unfinished, we say so.
EP-1
EP-1 is a one-octave electric piano that sits on your desk and is built by you.
- Walnut and gold. A two-tone case with a walnut body and a gold lid.
- Hall-sensor keys. Twelve keys with magnets and contactless Hall sensors, so nothing rubs or wears.
- Print it yourself. EP-1 is made for Bambu Lab printers, with ready-made Bambu Studio plates and the gold labels already set up for AMS. For other FDM printers there are plain STL files: you’ll need a bed of at least 200 × 200 mm and 200 mm of build height, so a Prusa MK4 or an Ender-class printer is fine, but smaller ones such as the A1 mini or Prusa Mini aren’t supported yet. No multi-colour unit? Print the case in walnut and fill the label pockets with gold paint or wax; the gold lid is a separate print anyway.
- Plays on its own. A Teensy-based digital synth with built-in speakers and USB-C battery power.
- The first of a few. EP-1 begins a small family of desk-scale instruments, a tiny studio added to one piece at a time.
How it works
- Buy the files. You get the print files and a parts list.
- Print. Open the Bambu Studio plates and print the case, keys and parts. STL files are there too for other printers.
- Build. Follow the video guide, chapter by chapter. Our animated robot presenter explains each step.
Print files come first. Hardware kits will follow later.
Coming January 2027
EP-1 print files arrive in January 2027.

From John
I started Ambry to build the small piano I wanted on my own desk. EP-1 is that piano, and I hope you’ll build one too.
