A small but character-packed collection of Upright Pianos.

We visited upright pianos and captured their homey sound. There's a lot of character, a lot of depth, a bit of intonation, but heaps of playability in this unique sample library. Captured on a 20-bit Layla recording system using vintage Cole Ribbon microphone and clip-on Sony mics, the unique approach to recording these pianos capture the years of history residing within the black and whites.

A complete list of the instruments recorded in this collection is contained in a documentation PDF, presented here.

Listen to the demos - if want a unique, expressive piano tone in your composition, this bargain-priced collection is well worth the small investment.
