Ivory II Studio Grands features two classical grand pianos which were recorded in great sounding iconic studios.
The first is a Steinway Model B, one of the most recorded pianos in history and considered the ideal studio piano by compsers and producers alike. It holds a unique balance between size and power, which makes it extremely versatile for all types of music.
The second is The Bösendorfer 225. This grand piano possesses a deeply resonant tone and balance in all registers, without loss of clarity. The Bösendorfer 225 also holds a unique feature in that is has an additional 4 low keys, thanks to the extended length of the piano, offering a range not many other pianos can match.
