Torres's masterpiece "La Leona" (Lion) goes to name our piano box

by fengge22 31 Mar 2025


The design and development of the Leona case was completed in Munich, Germany. Our initial founders include founder Li Qingchuan, designer Janis Ober, German production master Gernot Wagner and technicians from Mercedes-Benz's carbon fiber department. Through years of persistence in design, firmness and safety by such a team of producers, designers, carbon fiber experts and performers, we have achieved a work that satisfies all professionals.

Traditional German handmade design 

The design of the case is based on traditional German automobile design technology. It took half a year to make the frame with foam, fill it with clay, and then shape it by hand to finally determine the appearance.

High-tech precision design


After the manual prototype is completed, we scan the prototype into the computer through a computer physical 3D scanner, and then use the computer to accurately design every detail and functionality.

Patents and accessories


All accessories and special joint technology (double carbon fiber frame) are independently developed and patented by Leona. If you look closely at your Leona case, you will find that all the details are unique. And these accessories complement the appearance of the case and are perfectly integrated. This is the quality and aesthetic level that can only be achieved by investing regardless of cost.

3D designs the internal space of the case to fully determine the space of the instrument in the case to ensure safe use.
