Details

The library captures the 193 cm grand piano with multiple microphone positions, allowing for a range of timbral variations. The close miking emphasizes the instrument's intimate character, while the Decca Tree setup provides a broader soundstage. Articulations include soft (una corda), sostenuto, and sustain pedal options, enhancing expressiveness in performance.

With pre-configured main presets such as “Concert,” “Intimate,” and “Vintage,” the library supports diverse scoring needs. The unique Aliquot system enriches the upper register with sympathetic resonance, contributing to the piano's lyrical quality. This makes the Blüthner 1895 particularly effective for nuanced compositions and film scoring, where emotional depth is essential.
