Find your piano sound
The Yamaha upright is at the centre of Piano Room and can take on different characters depending on the music.
Soft, intimate and textured — a characteristic Piano Room sound for neoclassical, contemporary and atmospheric recordings.
The natural acoustic character of the Yamaha upright, with the sound of the instrument and the room left more open.
These are starting points rather than presets. Microphone placement and the balance between instrument and room can be adjusted to suit the music and the sound you are looking for.
Every project begins with a short conversation about the music and what you want to do with the finished recording.
The recording setup is prepared around your project, so you don’t need to arrive knowing which microphones or recording technique you need.
Finished recordings are normally prepared within 5 working days, with the expected delivery time agreed for each project.
Selected takes are prepared and delivered as finished WAV files, with MP3 or other formats available if needed. Essential editing, balancing and audio processing are included where appropriate.
If your recording is going on to further production, mixing or mastering elsewhere, it can instead be prepared for the next stage, with selected raw takes available if needed.
Minor adjustments after delivery are included. More extensive editing or post-production can be arranged separately.
The expected final deliverables are agreed before the session.
Recording sessions
Suitable for a focused recording or shorter session.
Recommended for most sessions, with more time to explore the sound and record multiple takes without rushing.
The price includes a pre-session consultation, studio time, recording setup, soundcheck, recording and preparation of the agreed finished recordings.
Planned and quoted individually according to the project.
Additional editing and post-production
Available by arrangement when a project requires additional work beyond the agreed recording.
Equipment & Technology
The Piano Room setup brings together carefully selected recording equipment, acoustic treatment and professional audio tools, chosen for how they work with the instrument and the room.
Piano care & tuning
The Piano Room Yamaha is regularly maintained and prepared for recording.
Fresh tuning before a session can be arranged on request.
