We proudly present our 7 different acoustic Woodstock Recording Studio pianos.
We personally believe there are few recording studios in Europe that offer such a wide range and diversity of acoustic pianos (in addition to our extensive collection of Fender Rhodes, Wurlitzer electric pianos, etc.).
With us, you can choose from the following acoustic pianos, among others:
1. Grotrian Steinweg Grand Piano – Model 170 cm (1912)
One of the absolute gems of our studio. This grand piano is built entirely of rosewood (and not black lacquered, which clearly enhances its character). A high-end dream grand piano for recording and incredibly versatile.
2. Grotrian Steinweg Upright Piano – Model 110 / Walnut (from 1955)
This instrument tells a story in itself. With a truly unique timbre from one of the world’s leading piano makers (Germany). The piano is open at both the top and bottom (front). With the curtain in front, a three-dimensional soundscape is created.
A truly immersive experience, with a character all its own.
3. Yamaha U3 – MPX100 | 2 | XG Disklavier (1994)
This piano needs little explanation. What’s unique is that, in addition to MIDI, it can also play piano pieces acoustically in real time.
Thanks to the Disklavier system, where each key has its own motor, it can play back any pieces composed on your computer just like a real pianist.
4. Young Chang Upright Piano U3 – Model E-118 (1994)
A tight, powerful, and solid sound, and plays like butter.
Unique to this model is the special muting feature, which creates an exceptionally warm and full tone.
Wonderful for quiet passages and relaxed musical recordings.
I’m often enchanted by what pianists manage to achieve with this piano.
5 & 6. Yamaha CP-70B Pianos (1978)
We have two Yamaha CP-70B pianos from 1978.
Both instruments are in impeccable technical condition.
7. Honky-tonk Lindbergh U105 (1988)
This piano hasn’t been tuned in 35 years—a very conscious decision.
Perfect for atmospheric sounds, but also for that typical saloon piano sound.
Honky-tonk in brief
Finally: Thank you to everyone who read this perhaps somewhat lengthy “journal.”
Warm greetings,
