1907 BLÜTHNER STYLE VII

In May 2021 I began the hunt for my first ever acoustic piano. I'd given up on finding something perfect at the price point I was going in with until I stumbled upon this Blüthner, which was sat in the back room of a music shop awaiting restoration, and a bit of a sorry sight. It was clickety-clackety, and a lot of the notes didn't work, but it was love at first sound.

After a five month internal restoration, this piano has been made into a virtual instrument, recorded on a pair of Soyuz 013 FETs, raising the ultra-soft, felt-like tone to be more easily playable. In the future I might get round to making a second edition with extra layers, alternative playing styles (think bowed strings) and running it through a pedal or two.

For now, you can download Marcus Warner's Bluthner (v.1.0.) for free. Let me know what you think!
