shearwater piano

Here's an interesting music software plugin: shearwater piano, "an intimate upright piano recorded in Dartmoor, UK".

Created by imagiro, shearwater piano is based on a salvaged late 1800s upright piano, lovingly restored in London in the 1980s. This unique instrument has a tone that is clear and concise, paired with the classic mellowness of a soft piano.

There is a "tape mode" for an instant vintage warmth, with every note run individually through a tape machine, and a "paper mode", recorded with masking tape placed over the piano strings.

shearwater piano is available as VST3/AU/AAX/standalone.
