Preface (optional): A subtle reflection before diving into the technical details, feel free to skip to main content.

❓ Born from silent hands, shaping what they cannot fully feel.
❓ Weighted and left alone, with no hand to guide through the quiet.
❓ Moving the world’s sound, while never feeling its pulse.
