A little rhythm. A quiet stage.
Grand piano layered art SVG.
Let the silhouette sing.
Crescendo is an original grand piano layered art SVG for a five-panel layered artwork. Four decorative cut panels sit in front of a solid backing, each 180 × 180 mm before kerf and finishing. The ZIP includes five individual SVGs, an alternative combined layout, an English preparation and assembly guide, and two reference PNGs. Use the individual files for most machines and confirm the actual outer square after import.
A musical silhouette.
Depth in every layer.
Crescendo gives the grand piano a graphic presence within a square layered composition. The familiar musical shape becomes a study in solid forms, cut openings and depth. Use the material’s natural grain or an approved colour treatment to create a personal accent for a music corner.
An asymmetric organic viewing window surrounds a stylized grand piano with a raised diagonal lid, integral prop and three broad legs; Six rectangular rounded keyboard apertures form a decorative keyboard, not a playable full-size instrument; Five continuous curved staff bands connect across the rear panel, with one connected pair of beamed note silhouettes at upper right; A large elliptical sound-halo aperture reveals the solid backing behind the staff. Decorative forms remain connected within their panel. There are no separate floating pieces to position; handle narrow features with care and make a complete prototype in your chosen stock.
The images illustrate a possible finish and display. Physical artwork, sheet stock, finishes, adhesive, frames, spacers, lighting, mounting hardware and styling props are not included.
Five layers.
A clear plan for making.

Bring the layers together.

Choose the files and verify scale
Extract the ZIP and use the five individual SVGs or the alternative combined layout. Confirm every actual outer square is 180 × 180 mm, keeping all layers at the same scale and orientation. Check the usable machine work area and stock clearances.
-
Map every contour to cutting
One complete set has 27 closed red contours. Set them all to vector Cut, review the actual toolpath and cut internal openings before outer squares where supported. The artwork supplies no engraving or scoring steps. Test the chosen approved stock before making the set.
-
Dry-stack, finish and bond
Build from the work surface in order 05 → 04 → 03 → 02 → 01. Keep the piano keyboard horizontal, the raised lid above the left-to-middle piano body and the beamed notes at upper right. Staff bands intentionally pass behind the piano. Keyboard windows, lid gap and spaces between legs are cut-through regions, not engraving. Align the outer edges and confirm the composition before bonding. Finish as appropriate for the stock and adhesive. Bond only overlapping solid areas, then inspect the construction and your own mounting method.
This design has not been physically test-cut, assembled, structurally tested or mounting-tested. Kerf, material, grain, finishing and adhesive affect the completed artwork. Make a complete prototype and verify display fit and support before gifting, selling or mounting it.
A musical panel.
Clear making answers.
What files will I receive?
The ZIP contains five individually numbered panel SVGs, combined-cut-layout.svg, README.txt, layer-map.png and assembly-reference.png: nine files in total. The six SVGs are two representations of the same five panels. Choose the five individual SVGs or the combined layout; cutting both makes a duplicate set. Use the SVGs for machining and the PNGs as visual references.
What is the correct assembly order?
Front to back, nearest the viewer first: 01 Organic Stage Frame → 02 Grand Piano → 03 Staff and Beamed Notes → 04 Sound Halo → 05 Solid Backing. To build from the work surface upward, start with 05 → 04 → 03 → 02 → 01. Keep the piano keyboard horizontal, the raised lid above the left-to-middle piano body and the beamed notes at upper right. Staff bands intentionally pass behind the piano. Keyboard windows, lid gap and spaces between legs are cut-through regions, not engraving. Dry-stack and align the common outer square edges before bonding. Apply suitable adhesive only where neighbouring solid faces overlap. Check every bond and your own display support; no fitted box or mounting hardware is included.
Which material, thickness and display depth should I plan for?
Laser-approved thin sheet wood is the starting point. Confirm the exact wood, glues, coatings and stock thickness with the supplier and your machine’s material guidance. Paper or cardstock is an option only where the machine maker approves it. Do not assume a CO₂-approved material is suitable for a diode laser.
For uniform actual thickness t, five panels have a bare stack depth of 5t. Add adhesive and finish allowances, plus the sum of any four optional inter-panel gaps. Measure your completed stack and your own frame’s internal opening, usable depth and support. A nominal 180 mm opening may be too tight after finishing. Frame, spacer, joinery, lighting and mounting files are not included.
Can I resize the panels or use the combined layout?
Scale all five panels proportionally together and preserve their shared orientation; do not independently mirror, rotate or resize a layer. Recheck every narrow connection, opening and rim and make a fresh prototype. The original cut squares are 180 × 180 mm; individual document pages are 192 × 192 mm. Check the cut outline rather than the page.
The optional combined page is 576 × 384 mm, with actual contour extents of 564 × 372 mm and 12 mm panel gaps. It can exceed the usable bed size. Use individual files where needed and check stock, origin, page/selection behaviour and clamp clearances before output.
How do I prepare these files for Glowforge, xTool, Epilog or another laser?
Glowforge: Upload an individual SVG. Verify the outer square is 180 × 180 mm, confirm the work area and assign every red contour to Cut.
xTool Studio/XCS: Use software supported by your model. SVG import DPI can change scale; verify the 180 mm square, choose Cut for all contours and review the job.
Epilog: In Illustrator, retain centered strokes at 0.025 mm. Confirm vector cutting through the supported driver or Dashboard for your model; review scale and output.
Other CO₂/diode systems: On a supported controller and firmware, import the SVG into LightBurn. Use Line mode with cutting settings and review Preview. Source type alone does not establish compatibility.
Are there engraving steps or tested laser settings?
No engraving or scoring operations are supplied. All 27 closed contours in one complete set are red (#FF0000), no fill, with centered 0.025 mm strokes. Assign every contour to vector cutting; colour alone does not select an operation. Cut the internal openings before releasing the outer squares where job ordering permits. Preview every panel for missing, duplicate or unintended paths.
The design has not been physically test-cut, assembled, structurally tested or mounting-tested. No universal power, speed, pass count or finished strength is supplied. Follow model-specific guidance, make a material test and a complete prototype, then inspect after cutting and finishing before a batch. Follow the machine’s extraction and supervision instructions.
Can I sell the physical artwork I make?
Yes. Personal projects and sales of finished physical artwork you make are permitted. Do not resell, share, give away or redistribute the digital files, modified digital versions or digital parts. See the included README for the usage terms. This is a digital download; sheet stock, finishes, adhesive, frame, spacers, lighting, display hardware and props are not included.
