Studio Blüthner 1895

This exceptional grand piano is a piece of music history you can actually play. Built in 1895, the Blüthner is characterized by a very detailed and clear, yet warm sound that is extremely versatile. That’s why the Blüthner sits extremely well in the mix of contemporary recordings and is suitable for genres that didn’t even exist when this masterpiece of craftsmanship was made. The Blüthner effortlessly transcends both temporal and musical boundaries. Legendary composers such as Debussy, Brahms, Mahler, Bartók, Liszt, Tchaikovsky, Shostakovitch, and Rachmaninov created their works on these specific pianos – and Paul McCartney famously played a Blüthner concert grand when recording “Let It Be” for the movie of the same title in 1969. Now you can bring this rich heritage into your own studio with an immaculate capture of this remarkable instrument that is easy to use and just as flexible as the physical original.
