Native Instruments Una Corda
In another sweep of design innovation, David Klavins envisioned this unique single-string piano design in collaboration with composer Nils Frahm.

It’s made softer still by a customizable felt layer for some of the lightest, most delicate piano sounds ever heard.

One of the most frequently recorded upright pianos is located in legendary Abbey Road Studios. Known as Mrs Mills Piano for its use in the 60s and 70s by British pianist Gladys Mills, this Steinway Vertegrand features a bright metallic attack thanks to its lacquered hammers. It’s a classic piano sound you might recognize from 60s pop records by The Beatles and The Zombies.
