At Redlands Studios, we record a wonderful 7'6" Yamaha C7 Grand Piano

Our magnificent Yamaha C7 grand piano will add richness and depth to your recording. Beautifully maintained and versatile, this instrument is frequently chosen by classical and jazz artists to capture the essence of their music.  

We went to Nashville this winter, where we picked up this beautiful Yamaha Acoustic Grand Piano; it came from Sound Stage Studios.

Here’s what the studio manager at Sound Stage wrote to me: “The piano was in good shape when it left our studio. 

The Yamaha Grand Piano was in Studio B at our facilities until '94 when the Steinway in A began to wear. It was switched to Studio A in the middle of Faith Hill's 2nd recording, "The Woman in Me" and was used on all the sessions in A until last April. Here are a few records and songs it was used on...

• Wide Open Spaces - Dixie Chicks

• Tennessee Moon - Neil Diamond

• Third Rock From The Sun - Joe Diffie

• Borderline - Brooks and Dunn

• Dreamin' Out Loud/Big Time - Trace Atkins

• All You Ever Do Is Bring Me Down - The Mavericks

• Time Marches On - Tracy Lawrence

• Horse Whisperer - Motion Picture Soundtrack

• Kiss This - Aaron Tippin

Here’s what Mix magazine said about recording the C7:

“By far, the most popular piano that is versatile enough for pop, jazz and rock recording, yet is arguably expressive enough for successful traditional and classical recording, is the Yamaha C Series grand piano.

The 7-foot, 4-inch model is my favorite pop piano, with a bright tone, strong overtones and a moderately strong bass. I come across a lot of these pianos on the road, too, and find them to be very consistent. The Yamaha C7 is seemingly less affected by age and geographic location than other instruments; a well-maintained Yamaha C7 almost always produces satisfying recording and performing results.”  

Yamaha grand pianos have earned a global reputation as instruments of outstanding quality, renowned for their eloquent expressive range, and for their reliable performance. The C7 is a fantastic instrument, the action is incredible, the bass is booming, and as far as Yamahas go, there is no better.  

It’s in the live room, tuned, regulated and ready for work.
