Hammer Klavier is a virtual instrument featuring a carefully-sampled upright piano, with a twist: every single hammer has been replaced with a real, metal-tipped hammer! This sonic experiment, created in partnership with YouTuber and musical mad scientist Mattias Krantz, results in a truly one-of-a-kind prepared piano sound.
With the bright, powerful attack of a harpsichord or hammered dulcimer and the dynamic responsiveness of a regular piano, the Hammer Klavier offers surprising depth and playability for an avant-guard instrument, and can be used for multiple genres ranging from cinematic soundtracks to ragtime, jazz, and rock.
Think of this not as a sound design toolbox but as a custom upright piano with a unique voice. While Mattias might have destroyed a piano to get this great sound, we think you'll agree it was worth it.
