Dive into the Rich European Tone: The Hamburg Grand S274 for Pianoverse
A Legendary Piano, Captured for You:
The Hamburg Grand S274 brings the iconic sound of a meticulously crafted 1958 Steinway & Sons D-274 to your fingertips. These handcrafted pianos, prized by Lang Lang, Emanuel Ax, and Rachmaninoff himself, were designed for a more intimate listening experience.
European Elegance:
Unlike its New York counterpart, the Hamburg D-274 boasts a unique tonal palette. It offers a wider range of sounds with a gradual shift in character as you move across the keyboard. The characteristic feature is a clear, articulate sound in the mid-range, perfect for solo performances or chamber music.
A Disappearing Legacy:
Standardization has blurred the lines between Hamburg and New York Steinways in recent years. This makes the classic Hamburg sound, as captured in the Hamburg Grand S274, even more valuable.
Uncompromising Recording:
Our state-of-the-art sampling process traveled to capture this magnificent piano in its natural habitat – Officine Meccaniche Studios in Milan. Using the same high-quality preamps as other Pianoverse instruments, we meticulously captured the essence of the piano without artificial processing. A combination of DPA and Coles microphones, along with a special Blumlein configuration, ensures both the detail and the ambience of the room are preserved.
