Maene is a piano and harpsichord manufacturer based in Ruiselede, Belgium.

The company was founded by Albert Maene-Doutreloigne in 1938.

Projects of the company, under the direction of the son Chris Maene, include producing replicas of historical instruments (Walter, Steinway,[1][2] ...) and developing new instruments like the Barenboim piano.[3][4]

The company also provides keyboard instruments for competitions like the Queen Elisabeth Competition.[5]
