If you are looking for a studio with a good piano, then we have a Bosendorfer 275 once owned by Andre Previn. www.the-byre.com

We recorded there back in june, with MTA, it was really relaxed and we were very happy with the final product.

you can listen to them at http://www.purevolume.com/thetonicsscotland , not that theres much piano in them though (plenty of synths )

Hi Ian, glad you're happy! Let me know when you get your website up and running, so that I can put a link up to you. Cheers - Andrew.

sorry, i don't trust anyone who spells acoustic with a "k".

You'll want to avoid their "kontakt" software aswell then

Failing that, maybe they can mic up that "thing" at cap'n'toms with a 57 (no doubt)....might want to tune it first

In fact there are only two studios in Scotland that have concert grands, ourselves and Castle-Sound.

What about the Bosendorfer in Cava?

CaVa has had to close its large studio and is now left with just the small room, so the Boesendorfer had to go. Castle Sound and ourselves both have a Boesendorfer 275 with the extra half octave at the bottom. After that, the next piano down the UK in a studio is the Granery near Liverpool, then there's Real World near Birmingham and of course London has about eight or ten studios with good Boesendorfers and Steinways.

A good concert grand costs about £60,000+ which is conciderably more than the total cost of the equipment for most smaller studios, who already baulk at the cost of more than one multitrack or hardware in general.

The number of customers who ask for a concert grand is small, but steady and they bring in quality projects like films, TV ads and of course piano recitals. My wife kicked a bit at the thought of spending all that money on a piano, but it was the best investment we have made in the studio.
