Hi! I want to find the reverb Nils Frahm is using in this solo piano song.

Any ideas?

He uses lots of old hardware and insteresting recording techniques. Even going to specific locations for their reverb qualities.

It's probably all "real". The liner notes are pretty interesting for that album and tell the story of how they refurbished and set up the studio in Berlin. If I remember rightly the pianos are in a fairly large room, and on top of that they have a traditional reverb chamber (i.e. a dedicated room with hard surfaces, speakers and microphones) so a bit of that could be mixed in.

From a dry recording I'd try a small hall IR for the main reflections and add a touch of chamber or plate IR for density.

Cool! Thanks for your answers!

What kind of reverb is this?
