The story

Ever since recording the LABS Soft Piano some 14 years ago I have always thought “can we go further” make an EVEN more intimate and touching piano.

It’s taken many goes over these last 14 years and my trusty Schimmel has to have become one of the most sampled pianos in sampling history but…. I settled on a pair of Neumann M149s and a KU100 binaural “dummy head” mic, all jammed right into the sound box of the piano THEN… A duvet over the back of them to keep them in the piano and not feel like you were in the room at all.

Then I summed them through one of the ugliest bits of tech I have ever lay my eyes on. Find out more in the youtube video I made about it. How did it work out? Well why don’t you download and see for yourself (Remember binaural recordings always better played on headphones!). Enjoy. CH.

  • This is the best Felt Piano ever!

    I've been watching Venus Theory's reaction about the pianos in the pianobook website but all those are unavailable. But since you're bring back this piano makes me want to play it again. I don't know it sounds very gently amazing!
