The Yamaha® C7 Grand Piano is widely known as the most-favored piano for studio recording – however, this is no ordinary C7. This outstanding, custom-modified instrument belongs to renowned Los Angeles piano technician, Jim Wilson. Part of what makes it unique is that this C7 is fitted with Renner® “Blue Point” hammers with Weickert® felt – a special piano hammer felt used during the pre-Cold War “golden age of Steinway®.” This rare long-fiber virgin wool felt contributes to the hammers producing a wider tonal spectrum. Jim spent many weeks manicuring the piano voicing for this project to achieve the greatest possible dynamic range and color palette. The tone, dynamics, and sustain of this particular instrument are astounding.
