PROMPT: Bittersweet

ART PROMPT: una corda, ancient instrument

Bittersweet, Accordingly

The sound of our latest, brand new model of an Una Corda Piano - the 64-key Una Corda in Oak wood, without a steel frame. Listen in and feel those special vibes, there's hardly any description that would do it justice. This particular piano will go to Japan and will be presented at the Fuji City Festival on July 23, 2023, by the brilliant pianist and representative for Klavins Pianos in Japan - Katsushi Sakamoto!

One After One (arpeggios #0)

A new piano sound is here to be explored: the Vertical Concert Grand Klavins M450i. An Everest of sound, a friend commented - she may be right... :-)

Our Una Corda piano has been sampled and is available as a VSTi at Native Instruments - they did a great job, it's fascinating! Also take a look at The Giant from NI, the VSTi of our Model 370 vertical concert grand piano...

Love to express myself on the keyboard now and then, only improvising... sometimes it works out, sometimes not - like real life... :-) Actually I'm a piano builder, not a pianist... ;-)

I'm recording mostly using the Native Instruments Komplete Kontrol S88 keyboard, Reaper for DAW, and various Native Instruments sound libraries, sometimes live on the Una Corda.

Wish I had more time to explore all the fine musicians here - it's fascinating, always something new and inspirational to find, within the infinite world of music..!

Please be patient with me in case I'm not replying on your comments short term - I'm extremely busy building pianos... I definitely appreciate your remarks, ideas, suggestions, and will get back to you as I can afford..!

Having been on SC since April 2012, I'd like to say a big THANK YOU to everyone who contributes to this wonderful world of music - all the friends I've made here, and the SC-Team as well..!!
