Experience the intimate sound of a finely crafted upright piano played by renowned jazz artist Gwilym Simcock, a Mercury Prize nominee. This instrument captures the delicate nuances and detailed character of the performance, offering a unique and expressive piano tone.

The piano was recorded in a dry environment at Spitfire Studios, using a special technique with soft felt placed between the hammers and strings to create a warm, muted sound. Multiple microphone signals—including condenser, ribbon, and hammer mics—were captured to provide a rich palette of tonal options.

Featuring ten carefully designed presets, the plugin ranges from close, dry sounds to expansive, pad-like reverberations. Users have control over the ADSR envelope and sustain pedal levels, allowing for detailed shaping and expression. This instrument is now available as a free plugin, making it accessible for a wide range of music productions.
