This is a truly magnificent and very fine instrument which must be heard and/or played to be fully appreciated! Owner Steffen Presley tried out dozens of pianos before finding this jewel. This is located in an independent room (Studio C), and contains it's own recording facilities, including an Apple iMac Intel Core/duo, also running Cubase 6 and Bias Peak 7 with full compatibility with the main studio, which is connected via wireless network. The audio interface is the Alesis io|14.

 

Recorded Examples:
This piece performed by Yoshi Gurwell is one of forty selections for her sixth album in the Music for Ballet Lovers series (all recorded at Song-Haven) and was composed by Doug Gurwell. To get the sound they were after, engineer and co-producer Steffen Presley used an MXL-R77 classic ribbon microphone on the top end of the piano (legendary Neumann U87 on the low end of the piano, as usual).
