The story
A forgotten piano recorded on the coast of Devon.
This old upright piano spent most of its life in a church basement, which gives it an old fashioned honky-tonk sound. I sampled the piano with irregular tremolo on octaves through various guitar effects to create a shimmering piano texture that is great for layering but also useful as an intimate, glimmering solo piano sound.
Now housed in a brand new Kontakt Instrument. Enjoy!

Absolutely Beautiful!
This is quite incredible for just one sample I can't stop playing it, it really is so surprising how just one sample is working so well here, well done very inspirational!
Evolving Piano Pad
This library is truly great. It presents an evolving piano pad based on a single sample. To me, it screams nature documentary. It is shining crystalline ice, drops of melted water in spring, and flowers blooming in sped up motion. It has a sort of emotional depth that works in so many different scenarios. This is one of the many hidden gems of the Pb website. You don't want to sleep on this!
Beautiful evolving piano texture
This instrument changed the way I see sample instruments. Sometimes all you need to create a unique and inspiring soundscape is ONE sample. I love to play a couple of notes, hit the sustain pedal, and let the magic happen.
