Steinway A · Serial no. unknown · Documented 2026
1911 Steinway Model A
Recorded where the instrument lives. The response of hammers worn by more than a century of playing, the resonance of a body that has been played and settled over generations.
Features
Velocity response
Six layers from pp to fff capture the dramatic tonal shift of the 1911 Model A across the full dynamic range — from the soft, complex warmth of a barely-struck key to the bright, cutting presence of a fortissimo blow.
Parlor GhostVerb
An acoustic impulse response recorded in the room where this piano currently lives. Load it and the room comes with the instrument. Early reflections from furniture, walls, the piano's own body — then a short, clean tail.
Articulation engine
Sustain pedal behavior, sympathetic string resonance, and round-robin alternation across three variants per note eliminate the machine-gun effect and preserve the instrument's natural expressiveness.
Convolution reverb controls
Pre-delay, hi/lo cut on the wet signal, independent early-reflection and tail gain, and subtle LFO modulation. Start with Parlor GhostVerb or bring your own IR.
