We managed to salvage an old piano before it was sent to the scrap-heap. Opening up it's main body and multi-sampling the innards led to the creation of this beautiful sounding old upright piano instrument with character.
The piano was being scrapped and the keys and front section were removed before sampling so we managed to capture a very one-off sound that cannot be replicated.
The chamber of the piano produced mind-blowing sustain and resonance.
You won't hear this anywhere else!

Various objects were used to get haunting sounds from the injured beast such as nails, stones and wooden planks.
We sampled deep booms, little scratches and one-off sounds.
The centre of the keyboard is mapped to certain key hits so you can play it like a slightly de-tuned dirty dead piano. The lower ranges and upper ranges of the keyboard contain the one-off performance bangs and scrapes which you can use for effects and atmosphere making. Small squeeks and phonetic ambiance sounds have been mapped over certain keys also to add a real sense of the instrument.
The demo is ad-hoc and is merely there to give you a flavour of all the sounds in the kit and show you its potential but we feel this kit has a HUGH sound and massive playability and resource.
What you do with the 'Dead Piano' is your choice but the kit emits a deep resonance and sound that would suit horror music and film-scoring.
The Kontakt version makes full use of the features in this kits. Other formats will resample the outputs from Kontakt to get the same sounds.
