Walk in and the room answers back — a low, cheerful hum of machines and a chorus of test kazoos. Sunlight from an industrial window pools on conveyor belts while a guide lifts a simple metal tube and the room fills with a single, bright buzz. That immediacy is the appeal: a working small-scale factory where sound and craft meet.
