Q & A ON THE STUART PIANO
|
|
|
|
Q: The recordings on the CD are all very close miked, is there a reason for this?
A: Yes, we wanted to produce a recording that represented the actual sound of the piano from the players perspective. We listened closely from this point of view and positioned the mikes appropriately.
Q: Do all the pianos sound the same?
A: There is a generic sound produced by all the instruments but each piano is individual and will have its own voice. The demonstration CD features three different pianos and is an accurate guide to how constant the sound is from instrument to instrument.
Q: Has there been any research carried out to substantiate the reasons behind the Stuart and Sons unique sound?
A: Yes, Dr Robert Anderssen, senior mathematician with the CSIRO – Australia’s national science agency, evaluated the mechanics that contribute to the sound and produced a paper and a video on their findings. You can view the paper in the Information section of this site or click the view button to access the video.
Q: Is it possible for individuals to record in the Stuart and Sons showroom?
A: Under certain circumstances it is possible to record in the showroom, if you have a project you’d like to discuss, please get in touch with us.
