Playing Una Corda - Clean recording with Soyuz 013 mics - no talk

[@soyuzmics]

Absolutely beautiful, Cuckoo! We're so happy to see (and hear) our 013s there. You're a true artist.

I put my 2 year old to bed to this…. He loves playing Continuum and falling asleep to Cuckoo…. Solo Una Corda Kids record??? Thank you as always, congrats ❤️

What wouldn't you swap for riches? Is the ability to listen to music on that list? 🙋 When I feel this, I feel like a trillionaire and so grateful to be enjoying music.. seeing its worth. Thank you for sharing this Cuckoo, this is very beautiful and deserves so much appreciation 🤗🎶

Hi Cuckoo, Ive been a fan of yours for a long time. Your electronic music is so unique and awesome, however whenever you touch an accoustic instrment, particularly a piano it is truly amazing

[@truecuckoo]

Thank you so incredibly much, Will! Truly appreciate that 🥹

[@kavokei1337]

Oh wow, Cuckoo - even brand new, you still manage to tease a captivating performance out of your Una Corda. I imagine it will be extremely hard to leave that room at the end of the day for a little while - I know I'd be playing that piano every opportunity I got. I love the slight harp-like tone of the higher registers. They're practicing ringing the bells at our local church and listening to you play with the bells in the background is quite the ethereal experience. I was half-expecting a comment from David on the video, he used to be fairly active on KZbin. I hope he's well. In any case, he makes utterly beguiling instruments - I'm more that a little bit jealous but also extremely happy for you.

[@RC_Cola2020]

Whoa! A rare pokemon!

[@ronaldheu42]

Awesome! Happy for you. I think there's something really fundamental and special coming from the vibrations of acoustic instruments. And today when we have access to unlimited amounts of different music production tools I think we again crave the simplicity and realnesss that acoustic instruments can give us.

[@distractionpool]

This thing sounds wonderful

[@gauthiersoubirous2706]

Cant wait to hear it combined with a Space echo or just reverb

Very impressive ☮

[@Maxmachtmusik]

Love it! Thanks for sharing. Captures the first moments at a new instrument well. There's some kind of fresh inspiration in it thats just special. Well played 🙌

[@starshot5172]

Really good. The Una Corda is such a free instrument, because it has less resonance and sounds interfere less with each other, allowing for more complex but great sounding melodies. The pedals also help a lot. I love it so much!

[@mmachinibarra]

Sounds live and spontaneous! Congratulations, your playing reflects years of music introspection.

[@9Eternus]

Excellent!

[@dwightdenzer2871]

That's a wonderful instrument you've gotten. Congratulations! Interesting rhythms and tuning temperament. Keeping all that exposed action clean will be a challenge, but the intimate playing experience will be worth it.

[@truecuckoo]

Thanks. Since it’s brand new from the workshop, it’ll need regular tuning for a good part of half a year or so, I’d believe. I’m waiting for my own tuning tools so that I can start working on it.

[@luispat8633]

Wow beautiful performance. I like this style.

[@starsky101]

Who’s a lucky chap! A lovely tone and lovely to see / hear feeling in your playing which we rarely see in this way with the majority of your electronic content. Did you consider other pianos before settling on the Una Chorda?

[@truecuckoo]

Thanks. I like my old piano. But I’ve been wanting an Una Corda since the first day heard about it.

[@NyleGames]

For some reason I can't stop thinking about getting jelly and ice cream stuck inside an Una Corda, I will aspire to maybe one day that being my biggest worry. Anyway beautiful recording. :)

[@Dudadius]

Wish I hadn’t watched this… (I’m gonna be broke). Nice playing. Sounds incredible.

[@urbancanyons8871]

Lovely sound but for the price of €20000 you’d hope so! I’ll have to stick to my Spitfire plug-ins! Beautiful post, thank you

[@_gilmusica]

Did you mix it in any way? If not, these mics are a miracle. It is a very good sounding recording. Also, I'd like to know - what audio interface did you use? Thankss

[@fourspiralarms]

Is that a room mic on the stand near the window? The mix here is beautiful..the sound of the hammers hitting the strings, pedal noise, and the room noise.

[@truecuckoo]

It’s just the two mics you see close the action. On the stand there’s a light out of frame. They’re very nice mics though, soyuz 013. I put the Omni capsules on, and it worked out really well. They’re built with an older traditional technology, and are a little noisy by nature.

[@alvaromoe]

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@xnooknooknook]

What do you mean by settle in? Do you have to "break in" a new piano's sound? That was really pretty.

[@rnedp760]

Beautiful instrument, well deserved. I'm the sentimental type though and having enjoyed your old piano for so many years, did it go to a loving home?

[@truecuckoo]

It’s acting as a camera stand for this video 😅 The Una Corda is not a replacement. It’s too different to replace an ordinary piano. I’ll keep them both.

If these were in like the $5,000 range I'd totally be buying one. I just can't justify nearly 30 grand for something like this. But at the same time I am obsessed with this instrument.

[@Moshela12]

Very romantic playing and also a warm-sounding instrument. Who built it for you? Or is it a customized piano?

[@truecuckoo]

This is an original Una Corda, made by Klavins Pianos. David Klavins is a piano builder, designer, artisan, artist, visionary of unique pianos.

[@tomdewith594]

Beautiful, where did you place the mics?

[@truecuckoo]

If you look closely, maybe in 4K, I think you can kinda see it. Close to the action, below the level of the hammers. Omni microphone capsules placed in slightly widened stereo positions.
