The Piano

All the recordings on this page were made on this wonderful 1922 Steinway, Model 'B' Concert Grand Piano (6'11"). The action was reconditioned and replaced in the 1990's before I owned it, but the piano still has the original soundboard, frame, case and ivory keys. We have had it in our house since 2011 and it is a beautiful instrument. The recordings were made using Neumann mics - a pair of KM184's and a U87Ai.

The piano has been maintained and tuned only by the master technician Charles Ball.

Our beloved dog Finley (2007-2022) can be seen lying underneath.
