It was acquired by Synchron Stage Vienna after having been lovingly restored by master piano builder Bernhard Balas from Vienna.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 193 cm professional scale instrument is equipped with Blüthner's specially developed and patented Aliquot system that uses additional dampened strings positioned above the conventional strings of the treble register, which are not struck by the hammers but resonate sympathetically. This fourth set of strings enhances the overtones, providing a velvety, organic shimmer and giving the instrument a particularly lyrical \"singing\" quality. In addition, the strings are unusually long and thin, stretched to an enormous string tension of 20 tons, which helps define the instrument's specific sound. In combination with its soft hammers the Blüthner grand produces a clear, yet warm and soft timbre that is superior to many modern instruments in its variety of tonal colors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eComposers such as Debussy, Brahms, Mahler, Bart\u003cspan\u003eók, Liszt, Tchaikowsky, Shostakowitch and Rachmaninov created their works on a Blüthner grand. Famously, Paul McCartney played a Blüthner concert grand when recording \"Let It Be\" for the film of the same title in 1969.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCapturing the Golden Tone. \u003c\/strong\u003eVienna Symphonic Library's Blüthner 1895 grand piano was recorded at Stage B of Synchron Stage Vienna. This beautiful 69 meters-squared (739 sq ft.) live room with a 3.5 to 4.5 m (11.5 - 14.75 ft) height features a controlled acoustic environment with less ambience than the large main hall (Stage A).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile beautifully restored, this \u003cstrong\u003eBlüthner 1895\u003c\/strong\u003e was recorded \"as is\", with all the charm and peculiarities that give a seasoned instrument its character. Its virtual recreation is extremely versatile and well suited for soloists looking for a slightly different, personal piano sound. The Blüthner lends itself extremely well to song accompaniments and chamber music settings, as well as to pop songs and ballads where other concert grands sound too large and obtrusive. Presets like \"Intimate\" or \"Vintage\" bring out this special quality even more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSampling Precision. \u003c\/strong\u003eTo capture the Blüthner 1895 with all its subtleties, our engineers developed a highly precise motion-control system based on a solenoid that controls a noise-free \"robot finger\". The micro-controller moves the finger with super-human precision, providing flexible curvatures for down-strokes and release movements, the latter corresponding with the preceding note length and various release speeds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e8 Microphone Positions. \u003c\/strong\u003eIn order to capture this beauty, our recording engineers used multiple high-end microphone arrays, affording an abundance of options for creating your individual sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMicrophones Full Library\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondenser - Close 1 (Sennheiser MKH 8040)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRibbon - Close 2 (Coles 4038)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSphere - Close 3 (Schoeps KFM 6 Sphere)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMid 1 (Sennheiser MKH 800)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMid 2 (Sennheiser MKH 40)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMain\/Room Mic - Decca Tree Stereo (L\/R)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMain\/Room Mic - Decca Tree Mono (Center)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMain Surround - Stereo (L\/R)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEven if you're not using a surround setup, you get more ambience variations and spatial depth out of the Full Library by adding the room microphones' signals to your stereo mix.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vienna Symphonic Library","offers":[{"title":"Full Library","offer_id":48444385362137,"sku":"VSLSYY10F","price":386.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Upgrade to Full Library","offer_id":48444385427673,"sku":"VSLSYY10E","price":168.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Standard Library","offer_id":48444385394905,"sku":"VSLSYY10S","price":218.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0416\/5232\/2456\/files\/ViennaSymphonicLibraryStudioBluthner1895.jpg?v=1763077527","url":"https:\/\/guildwatergear.com\/products\/vienna-symphonic-library-studio-bluthner-1895","provider":"Guildwater Gear","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
