2 uprights
This lovely Pleyel upright piano was sampled using a pair of Neumann KM184 microphones placed at ears height for a nice stereo imaging.
While Hammer has the microphones placed at the player level, Felt has them as near as possible to the hammers so you can get all the mechanism sounds, imperfections and felt sweetness giving you the feeling of being inside the piano.

While some of them are simplyHammerorFeltsamples mangled and played thru various machines for unique patches, other are new recordings of the piano played in less conventional ways such as hitting, tickling or muting the strings.
