Carefully maintained, tuned and an imprinted 1970s Schimmel Fortissimo Model 8 upright piano.
This EKX extension for EZkeys 2 was specially designed for singers and songwriters. The piano, carefully selected for its soft, earthy and delicate timbre, is the optimal choice for an instrument that doesn’t get in the way, take up space, or do anything other than what ultimately makes or breaks a song: words and melodies.
A carefully maintained, tuned and recorded 1970s Schimmel* piano, the instrument was recorded using a Neve 8068 console at the renowned RMV Studios in Stockholm, Sweden. Rustic beamed ceilings, wood and stone walls, and a softwood floor that acts as a shock-absorbing membrane make the RMV room ideal for recording acoustic instruments.
To showcase the full tonal range of this classical piano, it was recorded using three pairs of stereo microphones placed at different locations around the instrument and the room. In addition to the piano itself, the kit includes a wide selection of ready-to-mix presets, as well as a basic MIDI collection.
In a genre where less is often more, every component of a song is more important. If you’re looking for acoustic perfection, a timeless tone, and the perfect creative companion for your unwritten acoustic pop, folk, and singer-songwriter tracks, this EKX is the one for you.
