AS Piano Collection
Five pianos in one bundle - three grands, a petite French grand and an old upright - for over a third less than buying them separately.
Overview
FROM CONCERT HALL TO SALOON
The AS Piano Collection covers the whole range of the piano: a big, powerful concert grand, a classic American Steinway, the warm sound of old jazz and classical records, a small French grand with a character all its own, and the out-of-tune upright everybody has met at a friend's place.
Save over a third. The collection costs less than its three grands bought on their own - the petite grand and the upright come free.
Included: KAWAI-EX PRO · OldBlackGrand · AcademicGrand · A-PIAN · B-PIAN
Features
KAWAI-EX PRO
A powerful, bright 9-foot Kawai EX concert grand that used to live at the Kennedy Center in Washington DC, recorded with three microphone pairs to capture how big and precise this instrument can be.
OldBlackGrand
A 1928 Pleyel grand - Chopin's favourite make - sampled through vintage gear, a Studer console and tube microphones. The rich, warm sound of old jazz, blues and classical recordings.
AcademicGrand
A 1963 Steinway Model D that served for decades as the University of Arkansas' main concert instrument: the classic American Steinway sound.
A-PIAN
A 1960 Gaveau "crapaud", the smallest size of grand piano. Short strings give it a very bright sound, full of inharmonicity in the bass - nothing else sounds quite like it.
B-PIAN
An old, out-of-tune upright with tired mechanics: the piano you started on, the one gathering dust at a friend's place, the Wild-West saloon upright.
