Yesterday was a great day here at 16 Ton Studios Recording Studios in Nashville, Tennessee. Not only was it a beautiful afternoon it was even better when the sun flashed off of the perfect, ebony patina of an incredible Steinway Grand as it was rolled out of the back of a very, very secure moving truck.
Documented by non-other than Mr. John H. Steinway himself back in 1978, we are the proud new custodian of one of the best Steinway A 7-foot Grand Piano’s in the country.
It was a moving experience to sit behind this magnificent instrument and block a few chords out once the movers had gone on their way. To say it was a humbling experience to think about the graceful hands and talented pianists that have sat behind her, making wonderful music for over 130 years would be an understatement. This particular piano has a great history in the music business, having been employed to lay down piano tracks on multiple Grammy winning records for decades.
For those fans of our Kohler & Campbell Grand (I count myself as one of those) have no fear! We’ve decided to keep the K&C and move it to the lounge. It sounds fantastic out there by the way for those of you familiar with the footprint of this studio. And of course, two-grand is always better than one!!
Thanks for reading this blog and the next time you’re on Music Row in Nashville, stop by and say hello. We would love to hear about your next project. From everyone at 16 ton Recording Studios in Nashville, Tennessee…have a great Labor Day!
Until next time….keep livin’ life on the high notes!
