Unleash the timeless elegance of a vintage Fischer Upright piano from 1900.
Immerse yourself in the rich, authentic sound captured at Altamira Sound in Alhambra, CA, skillfully recorded by renowned engineer James Riotto.
We meticulously captured the essence of this vintage upright piano over an intensive two-day recording and sampling session. Employing state-of-the-art studio preamps and premium microphones, we preserved both the exquisite sound and rich history embedded within each note.
