Title: Recording studio NY to DC with big Bosendorfer
Post by: iumonito on February 10, 2006, 12:23:29 AM: Hi all,

I am dreaming of recording some Mozart sonatas and variations later this year, and it occurs to me that it would be nice to record on a Bose. Does anyone know where I could get some studio time with an adequate instrument somewhere between NY and DC? When I start getting them ready I will post in the audition room some home recordings on my piano (an Irmler, divine but not a recording-grade instrument and in a non-suitable living room) just to make sure things are on track.

Cheers!

you have to bring something that accentuates those bottom notes!

I have just a few words for you - Steep Rock Studios in Philadelphia. They have a beautifully maintained Bosendorfer 225.

www.steeprockmedia.com

Dr. Greg Wilder is wonderful to work with. Give him a call and let him know that I mentioned him to you, please.

Good Luck,

I just can't remember their name or URL at the moment. I will get back to you on that.

I have decided on the strenght of your suggestion to go to Steep Rock. I just need to practice my Mozart a little more.

Post by: tompilk on March 10, 2006, 06:17:01 PM: id love to do this when i can play a whole sonata or something like that, but bits and bobs of poorer pieces is hardly pointful (i dont hink that is a word, but you know what i mean...)
And i live in Lancashire in UK and o not know of any around here... id like to use a Bose or a Model D... i saw a recording studio - day for £140 ($200) with as much recording/cutting as you want free of charge, and you get a hard drive with the recordings and cuts on too...

That seems a dirt cheap cost for a full day of time - let alone any editing or cutting as well. Are you sure that is correct...... and, if so, is it operated by chimps? ;) :)
