Description: The Grand Piano Montclarion Hall is a classic 1926 Steinway salon that lives in one of our favorite recording halls. We recorded in wide stereo mode from three different microphone distances (inside, outside / middle, and far / hall) to allow for individual mixing and surround mixing and provide a variety of ambient tastes. It has crisp, solid tones perfect for classical writing, but works equally well for soul, jazz, rock and pop.
But this 7+ GB library goes well beyond a simple classical grand piano library. It also includes a wide selection of extended “prepared piano” and very useful creative FX articulations, such as percussive pounds, slams, string scrapes, steel guitar slides, mallet and pick glisses, sweeps, plucks and much more.
Originally released in 2010, the Montclarion Hall Piano was recorded in a steep A-framed long hall in the hills above Oakland, CA. It’s a place that truly resonates with us, in the same space that Mars, Venus, Mercury and the Apocalypse Percussion Ensemble were captured in, along with a whole host of former Tonehammer epic percussion and choral libraries. It has lush, rich, clear, well-defined and balanced natural acoustic reflections. In our ears, something about this magical room combined perfectly with this piano, creating the right holistic balance. The true instrument here is the piano and the hall together as one.
