About the Instrument

Ivory 3 LE Modern Upright

The piano featured in this collection was brand new at the time of recording, meticulously tuned and expertly regulated by Synthogy for the Uprights series. With its clear, expressive tone, the Modern Upright is an ideal choice for contemporary pop, rock, and jazz productions.
