Abstract
This study explores the integration of CNC (Computer Numerical Control) technology in the production of musical instruments, focusing on its benefits in precision, efficiency, and customization. While CNC technology offers significant advancements, it poses challenges to traditional craftsmanship, including the potential loss of uniqueness and artisanal skills. The study recommends a balanced approach, combining CNC with traditional techniques, to enhance production while preserving cultural heritage. Emphasizing education, research, and transparent communication, this work advocates for the thoughtful adoption of CNC technology to innovate within the musical instrument industry while maintaining its artisanal roots.
