Morphology
The meaning is fully compositional: combining 'piano' (the instrument) with 'maker' (a person or company that produces something) straightforwardly denotes someone who makes pianos. This noun+noun compound follows a productive, cross-linguistically common pattern, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily understand it.
Etymology
Piano maker is a simple phrase: piano, the musical instrument, and maker, the person who makes things. Imagine a workshop where someone builds and tunes a piano, so it means 'a person or company that makes pianos'.
