“We are completely satisfied with akustika 2026. akustika has great potential and we hope that, despite the challenges currently facing the keyboard sector, we can continue along this path. We now have a loyal audience at akustika, and we also had more international visitors, which is very important to us.”

"We are very happy to have akustika in Europe, because that's the only fair with international presence that actually is still running. And this is important for us to show the instruments to customers, not just in China, United States and so on, but also in Germany and the surrounding countries. At akustika you can really enjoy the pianos and hear the sound. And one more is that there are nice selection rooms so that you can easily compare all the grand pianos and all the concert upright pianos, which is very special and I think very needed. I wish akustika to grow for the future, to get even more participants, and I hope we will still be here together with you."
 

“akustika is very important to us as publishers because it provides us with a platform to showcase our products. The focus of the fair is on instrument making. But what is a musician without sheet music? Sheet music is a fundamental tool that accompanies a musician throughout their life. I hope that, with akustika, we can once again establish a hub in Europe where the entire music industry and the music market can come together.”

“I’m now in my third year of my bow-making apprenticeship and it’s simply brilliant to see customers again at akustika and to meet international customers too. There’s always a good exchange of ideas here, and it’s an ideal platform for showcasing newly produced products. It’s great to have akustika here in Nuremberg as a meeting place for international customers, where we can meet up again every year. I think akustika is definitely set to grow.”

“akustika is the only trade fair that brings together all instrument categories. For our customers – including those from abroad – it is important that they can attend trade fairs where they can purchase instruments from various categories and gather information. We need a leading European trade fair for music – one that caters not only for musicians, but also for the wider community: teachers, professors, retailers, violin makers and the entire world of music-makers. At the moment, the only such events with international reach are in the USA and China. We have lost this in Europe, and I hope that we will have it here in Nuremberg in five years’ time.”

“We have lots of customers here in Germany, and the akustika is a brilliant opportunity to meet people. What I really like is that the audience here is genuinely very interested. I hope that the akustika can attract even more people to Nuremberg and will certainly grow a little further in the B2B sector as well.”

“Here at akustika Nuremberg, we have the opportunity to showcase all our instruments, covering the entire spectrum of instrument-making. We’re very pleased about this, and there aren’t many opportunities like this in Europe. We are represented here with four stands on different levels and are showcasing our full range – not only for our trade visitors, but also for end customers, musicians and families. The great thing about akustika is that it is growing and expanding. It is not just a hub for Franconia or Bavaria; it is one for the whole of Germany, and we have visitors here from every country in Europe, which is brilliant. I see akustika in the future as Europe’s industry hub, as a platform, a meeting place and a focal point for bringing together these different associations, clubs and musical cultures."

“The concept behind ‘akustika’ with the new hall has been a great success and has worked very well. The other floors were also well attended, and everything ran smoothly. Overall, there’s a fantastic atmosphere here, and we were able to maintain many good contacts and make new ones.”

“The visitors at akustika 2026 were exactly the right sort; the calibre of the visitors was spot on. The spread of visitors across the new hall was good – that was the right approach. The number of specialist retailers attending akustika has grown steadily, which gave us plenty of opportunities for networking. Overall, akustika has a brilliant atmosphere; the trade fair is fantastic and I’m looking forward to next year.”

“We are thoroughly satisfied with akustika 2026 and would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to the organisers. There were lots of people from our scene in attendance, all of whom were very pleased. The performers and clubs were very satisfied with their performances, which were well attended, and the composers’ meet-ups were also very well received. We are already considering what new highlights we can include in next year’s programme.”

“akustika is a brilliant forum for exchange. We met lots of colleagues from other associations and there were plenty of opportunities to network. Overall, akustika offers a great setting and a pleasant atmosphere.”

“We have built up a loyal audience over the first few editions of akustika, who come back every year. It would be lovely if even more school pupils came, and we have also set ourselves the aim of getting even more church musicians interested in akustika.”
