The domestic industry of musical instruments is represented by about 120 enterprises. The production of parts and accessories for musical instruments in 2024 increased to ₽26,2 million compared to ₽23,9 million in 2023.

The increase in production is largely due to government support for the industry. The Ministry of Industry and Trade reports that the demand for domestic products is supported by orders both from the Ministry of Culture and through special programs for the purchase of musical instruments.

With regard to string bowed, plucked, wind, reed, percussion, as well as electric musical plucked and reed instruments, microphones and other types of sound equipment, there are restrictions on the implementation of state and municipal purchases of foreign analogues. The minimum shares of purchases of domestic musical instruments in the amount of 30% to 90% are also established.

An important role in the development of the industry is played by the Industrial Development Fund (EDF), which provides preferential loans to modernize and increase production. The program of the FRP "Development Projects" allows enterprises of the musical instrument industry to receive preferential borrowed financing at rates of 3% and 5% per annum and for a period of up to 5 years^[1]

2021: The state spent 700 million rubles to purchase pianos for music schools and theaters

In 2021, the state spent 700 million rubles on the purchase of pianos for music schools, houses of culture, theaters and other art churches. At the same time, Russian musical instruments accounted for less than half of public procurement, the rest of the money was given for foreign ones. However, the situation may change as early as 2023. Foreign instruments, in addition to those produced in the EAEU, want to prohibit buying for state and municipal needs.
