1. What Is Crow Hill Company “100 Year Old Piano”?
100 Year Old Piano is a piano instrument with plenty of character, recorded from a roughly 100-year-old John Brinsmead & Sons piano exactly as it was before tuning, complete with wavering pitch and an aged sound. The piano was donated by a member of the Crow Hill community, and it has been captured in its original state, before any tuning or maintenance. It is not as extreme as a pub piano or honky-tonk, which makes it well suited to songs and scenes that need a slightly worn-out atmosphere.
