Post Description

We dont know much about this particular instruments history a friend of Soniccouture, Tom Heywood, who runs Normal Bias studios in Berlin, found it in one of the citys many flea markets. It was sold to him by a vendor who specialises in DDR era collectibles. It is a childs toy piano, made of plastic.

It has a wonderfully clanky, bell like tone with very loud, distinctive keyoff sounds as the keys disengage. The instrument was recorded with a spaced stereo pair of vintage Neumann mics, in Normal Bias Studios, Berlin in August 2011.

nJoy!
