1940 Welmar Piano & BM9 Spaced Pair

A few weeks ago Barkley McKay from Valley Wood Studio in Leeds, sent through a beautiful recording of himself playing his 1940 Welmar 6’1 piano. All recorded using a spaced pair of Extinct Audio BM9 ribbon microphones.

Played, engineered and produced Barkley McKay at Valley Wood Studio.

No compression or EQ. Two Focusrite – transformerless – Class A mic preamps …… and that’s it!
