It was acquired by Synchron Stage Vienna after having been lovingly restored by master piano builder Bernhard Balas from Vienna.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 6-foot-4 professional scale instrument is equipped with Blüthner’s specially developed and patented Aliquot system that uses additional dampened strings positioned above the conventional strings of the treble register, which are not struck by the hammers but resonate sympathetically. This fourth set of strings enhances the overtones, providing a velvety, organic shimmer and giving the instrument a particularly lyrical “singing” quality. In addition, the strings are unusually long and thin, stretched to an enormous string tension of 20 tons, which helps define the instrument’s specific sound. In combination with its soft hammers the Blüthner grand produces a clear, yet warm and soft timbre that is superior to many modern instruments in its variety of tonal colors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eComposers such as Debussy, Brahms, Mahler, Bartók, Liszt, Tchaikowsky, Shostakowitch and Rachmaninov created their works on a Blüthner grand. Famously, Paul McCartney played a Blüthner concert grand when recording “Let It Be” for the film of the same title in 1969.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVienna Symphonic Library’s Blüthner 1895 grand piano was recorded at Stage B of Synchron Stage Vienna. This beautiful 69 m² (739 sq ft.) live room with a 3.5 to 4.5 m (11.5 – 14.75 ft) height features a controlled acoustic environment with less ambience than the large main hall (Stage A).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile beautifully restored, this Blüthner 1895 was recorded “as is”, with all the charm and peculiarities that give a seasoned instrument its character. Its virtual recreation is extremely versatile and well suited for soloists looking for a slightly different, personal piano sound. The Blüthner lends itself extremely well to song accompaniments and chamber music settings, as well as to pop songs and ballads where other concert grands sound too large and obtrusive. Presets like “Intimate” or “Vintage” bring out this special quality even more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSampling Precision\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo capture the Blüthner 1895 with all its subtleties, Vienna’s engineers developed a highly precise motion-control system based on a solenoid that controls a noise-free “robot finger”. The micro-controller moves the finger with super-human precision, providing flexible curvatures for down-strokes and release movements, the latter corresponding with the preceding note length and various release speeds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e8 Microphone Positions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Blüthner 1895 was recorded using multiple high-end microphone arrays, affording an abundance of options for creating your individual sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMicrophones\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandard Library\u003c\/strong\u003e: Condenser - Close 1 (Sennheiser MKH 8040) | Mid 1 (Sennheiser MKH 800) | Main\/Room Mic – Decca Tree Stereo (L\/R) | Main\/Room Mic – Decca Tree Mono (Center) | \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFull Library\u003c\/strong\u003e: Standard Library Microphones + Ribbon - Close 2 (Coles 4038) | Sphere - Close 3 (Schoeps KFM 6 Sphere) | Mid 2 (Sennheiser MKH 40) | Main Surround – Stereo (L\/R)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEven if you're not using a surround setup, you get more ambience variations and spatial depth out of the Full Library by adding the room microphones' signals to your stereo mix.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCustomize Your Personal Sound\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to the multitude of options from mixing various microphone signals, the Blüthner 1895 comes with the free Vienna Synchron Pianos player that offers multiple options for shaping your sound and your playing experience.

In the main playing range its sound is more reminiscent of a small concert grand than of an upright piano.

The instrument’s mid range is very pronounced and focused, while its ageless character clearly asserts itself in all registers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBrought to Stuttgart by pianoforte maker and dealer B. Klinkerfuss, Württemberg’s sole representative for C. Bechstein and J. Blüthner, the instrument has always been in residence with families in the Stuttgart area. It was played by pianist and film composer Mick Baumeister, co-creator of the Hornberg breath controller, at different stages of his life. The upright was owned by Martin Friz who taught a young Mick improvisation on this instrument.

Unlike its big brother, the F308 that was captured in the grandeur of Stage A, the F212 was recorded in the smaller, dryer Stage B, which turned out to be the perfect match for Fazioli’s classic mid-sized piano.

After tweaking the intonation of certain notes didn’t help, Mr. Paolo Fazioli himself made the trip to Stuttgart and brought with him a brand-new hammer-row that immediately made this instrument sing over the entire range, with beautifully rounded tones across the keyboard spectrum. Given its sound and the significant attention it received, including from the company's founder, this particular instrument became an obvious choice to complement Vienna’s esteemed virtual piano collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0335\/9123\/0601\/files\/VSLFazioliF202Pic2_480x480.webp?v=1708857007\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eThe Synchron Piano Player\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to creating your sound by mixing several microphone signals, the free Vienna Synchron Pianos software offers multiple options for shaping the sound of the piano and your playing experience.

Expanding significantly on the “prepared piano” concept popularized by avant-garde composer John Cage in the 1940s, The Vienna team transformed their Yamaha CFX into a groundbreaking instrument of sonic exploration. By manipulating its strings with objects such as screws, bolts, rubber, felt wedges, chains, and paper, or utilizing an EBow for infinite sustain, it now produces a myriad of adventurous tones far removed from its classical origins. The controlled ambience allows you to shape your custom FX sounds any way you want, while the optional convolution reverb derived from Vienna MIR Pro 3D adds space and even more creative versatility. A wide array of dedicated FX patches and mixer presets takes this sonic adventure to entirely new dimensions, inviting you to push the boundaries of sound design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePrepper’s Delight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen it comes to high-performance music, preparation is key – and in this collection, that concept takes on a whole new, literal meaning. Synchron Stage Vienna’s very own piano tuner and specialist Max Kubizek conducted extensive research to unlock the unique sound possibilities he and Synchron Stage chief conductor Gottfried Rabl envisioned for this exceptional product, which is vastly more expansive and versatile than the previously released prepared piano in Vienna’s Studio Special Keyboards collection. The results give you incredible freedom for experimentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0335\/9123\/0601\/files\/Studio_FX_Piano_Pic_2.webp?v=1737622183\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring the recording sessions, no boundaries were set: the bass strings were slapped by hand or plucked with a guitar pick, the piano body was struck with a mallet, metal screws and bolts created sharp metallic overtones, while rubber and felt dampened the vibrating strings to produce muted, drum-like beats. These unconventional techniques and non-traditional approaches generated complex and unexpected sound layers, ranging from mystical drones to sharp, percussive hits that are as inspiring as they are unique.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBeyond Recognition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBehind every keystroke lies a realm of sonic exploration – from the weird and eerie to the innovative and avant-garde.

The possibilities are as vast as the materials used to manipulate and transform its sound.\u003cbr\u003eExpanding on the classic “Cage Template”, special FX mixer presets enable instant sound shaping, empowering you to break free from convention.

With both algorithmic and convolution reverb options, this prepared piano adapts seamlessly to any musical setting and can be placed in any acoustic environment you desire – ranging from tight, intimate studio spaces to richly reverberant surroundings.
