🎼 Labelling Music: SMI Takes the Stage

Piano, guitar, accordion – each instrument has its own tone, its own personality, and deserves a label that’s perfectly in tune with it.
Identification, personalisation, enhancement: our expertise strikes the right chord with every surface, without missing a beat.


We present our very own ensemble of musical projects… and for a fully immersive experience, we’ve put together a short instrumental playlist to accompany your reading 🎶

🎹 Keyboard Instruments: Elegance at Your Fingertips

Pianos and accordions share a certain nobility of craftsmanship, refined surfaces and demanding finishes. Their labelling must be as precise as it is discreet, seamlessly integrated without ever compromising the aesthetic of the instrument.
Lacquered wood, matt or gloss varnish – we tailor our techniques to the most delicate finishes to enhance the instrument without overshadowing it. This is particularly true of the domed labels that have adorned Vale Pianos in England for years, and of the Transcript A.T. labels signing the pianos of the Monaghan Music & Piano Centre in Ireland as well as the Fisart accordions in France – proof that, just like music, our labels know no borders!

🎸 String Instruments: A Matter of Vibration

Transcript A.T., logo on guitar headstock,
Emerald Guitars (Ireland)


Guitars and monochords tell a different story – one of resonance, of gestures that bring the instrument to life, and of emotion carried by the vibration of the strings beneath the fingers.
Matt or gloss finishes, subtle or bold labelling: each project reflects a unique identity, echoing the soul of the instrument.

Transcripts A.T., logo on guitar headstock, Walko (France)


Our labels can be seen on the beautiful Emerald guitars in Ireland, as well as on Walko's guitars in France, and on the monochords of Feeltone in northern Germany, near the Baltic Sea – a refined expertise dedicated to today’s luthiers!

🧳 Instrument Cases: Touring Companions

Essential both on stage and on the road, instrument cases deserve their own signature too. Whether in leather, wood or reinforced fabric, they extend the identity of the instrument – an outer shell that, at first glance, hints at the precious object it holds.
Sew-on labels, doming or injection moulding: each labelling technique reinforces the brand image while matching the durability of the case itself.

🔊 Speakers & Accessories: Let the Design Speak

L’expérience musicale ne s’arrête pas à l’instrument – elle se prolonge jusque dans les enceintes qui en révèlent chaque nuance. Là aussi, le marquage devient une signature visuelle à part entière. Notre expertise en la matière ne date pas d’hier : ces plaques Elipson des années 90 en sont la preuve. Leur excellente tenue dans le temps illustre la fiabilité de nos procédés. Les plaques en laiton, très prisées dans les années 90 et 2000, ont aujourd’hui laissé place à des lettres en relief plus modernes : le Transprint, qui signe les enceintes autrichiennes Vienna Acoustics, ou encore le Transcript A.T., choisi par la marque suisse Excelson pour ses modèles Quadra.


🎫 Instrument Passport: The Finishing Touch

Because a standard warranty card can easily be lost or damaged, we offer durable options for these essential documents. The metal plate designed for Henri Selmer Paris reinforces the brand’s credibility while extending the customer experience down to the finest detail.
