Hi, all! I present you IC for GMK Maestro, inspired by my love for vintage classic/grand piano and classical music, primarily composed by all-time famous maestros such as J.S. Bach.

Special thanks

Prior to this IC launch I have been helped here and there with kittings, suggestions, and feedbacks from this community, especially: konstantin (for his knowledge of kittings), Jeff/Langelandia (for his support when I checked upon ‘similarity’ opinions to his design GMK Café), ttom (designer of GMK Deep Navy) for his interest and his valuable advice on the kits and more, finally Keycaps Designer’s Discord for being amazing throughout the idea-building until the IC is ready to be launched.

I love the look and theme. My two cents: WS4 doesn’t look as ivory to me IRL. It looks more off-white. It’s a nice color, for sure. I own Camping and Violet & Cream. However, the ivory in GMK Led Zep would be spot on. Of course, that was a custom color.

Source: own them both. :slight_smile:

These gorgeous GMK sets need to slow down! /s

I had to cut myself off when I realized I’m already in three GMK group buys. <_<

Hopefully, yes! It will be on ‘Obscure’ kit if I decided to include 6u bars (centered and non-centered)

Cool graphic. Although I was a bit confused as to what a quaver is. Who knew? I have a master’s of Music performance degreee and have taught music at 2 different Universites for 15 years. Never heard of an eighth note called a quaver :slight_smile: Other side of the pond things…

I’m more excited by this set as it progresses. Nice work.
