The Vertical Piano

The Vertical Piano is an instrument with the most incredible back-story harnessed into a creative environment designed to give you your new favourite story telling device.

Every piano has a story and the sound character the piano possesses bears witness to that story. Found within its unique complex harmonic choir of resonance are the echos, the expression, the blows of everyone who has come into contact with it, played on it, moved it, tuned it, dusted it. The humidity and change in temperatures it has endured. The love, and also the abandonment. Its sound board, bearing 1 ton of pressure in a curved "crown" that gradually over the years gives way to the pressure exerted on it. The days we sampled this piano are not repeatable, it will only sound like it did on the days we preserved it for future generations. This is what this piano sounded like at this point in its extraordinary lifetime. For this is no ordinary piano, it is a Victory Vertical.
