The Orchestral Grands

{See video at top of page}

Two legendary grand pianos: the Steinway D and the Steinway B.

As with all our collections, we strove to best capture the unique acoustics of the Teldex Scoring Stage in Berlin; from its glorious depths to its shimmering heights.

These instruments were painstakingly positioned for orchestral use when recorded, which makes The Orchestral Grands collection just the thing for adding new layers of colour to your symphonic compositions.

The numerous sustain and staccato round robins contained in this collection will allow you to create more realistic rhythmic, percussive and repetitive passages.

The Sustaining Grand

Our soloist grand is the perfect choice for those more intimate and emotional moments.
Carefully edited through a special analogue chain (Chandler Zener Limiter, A-Designs Hammer EQ, Electrodyne 501 preamps), the Sustaining Grand is an exquisite addition to The Orchestral Grands collection.

3 Mic Positions

Choose between the room mics (a Decca tree with M50s), mid mics and very intimate close mics to integrate The Orchestral Grands seamlessly into your orchestral setting. The Sustaining Grand provides a single close mic position.
