Recording Notes

  • The Yamaha CP-70 electric grand piano was likely used as the primary instrument.
  • A stereo chorus effect, possibly from a Roland JC-120, widens the piano's stereo image and adds depth.
  • Compression, likely from a Urei 1176 or similar, helps the piano cut through the mix and maintains a consistent level.

Recreation Tips

  • Start with a bright, acoustic piano sound.
  • Apply a subtle stereo chorus effect to widen the stereo image.
  • Use a compressor to even out the dynamics and add punch.
  • EQ to taste, focusing on warmth in the low-mids and clarity in the high frequencies.
