Marcus - The sound of your new Piano is mesmerising - melodic, rich and warm and love the fact that you have restored it to its glory -cannot wait to hear some new music from you using this beautiful instrument
The soft tone of this piano sounds amazing, and it's such a bonus that there is still a larger dynamic range than a typical felt piano. It's great stuff!
Wow, I’ve never heard of a felt piano before but this sounds exquisite. I’d say the type of piano you want to listen to on a rainy afternoon, sitting next to your window with a cup of tea and the scent of damp leaves and wood in the air… This sounds similar to the piano backing in These Shores, and I totally agree, it blends perfectly with your tone of music. Misty, delicate and distinctly sweet. I can’t wait to hear more of your songs with your new piano!!
That's funny you should mention These Shores, I played it on the piano before it was restored and it was the similarity in sound that was part of what sold me!
@@MarcusWarnerMusic Also happened to be the song I was listening to when I found your post😉 And I have to say, I simply love that song. I don’t even remember when I found it, but at some point I did, and suddenly I had it on repeat every morning. Personally my favorite thing about it was the lyrics; incredibly poetic, especially ‘count the planes leaving scars across the sky’. It helped me a lot when I was under pressure, always so soothing!
you know you hear a felt piano when your sheete low end speakers start to literally shake inside of their plastic housing, thats how you know its a felt piano, and honestly its the most annoying thing ive heard... And i love it, i just wish i had the proper speakers for it because to me it sounds like a clipped SINE WAVE
Hey Marcus, your music has helped me so much, especially here in college. I listen to it when I do work and when I walk to class in the mornings (you’re top 5 on my Spotify wrapped). Everyone I’ve showed your music to so far has loved it! Every time I listen, the helplessness depression of college work goes away a little bit, haha…
Hello Marcus, I may just be another listener, but I just wanted to thank you for how much your music has got me through in difficult times. I believe I found your music almost a year and a half ago, and since then it's served as a sort of "sanctuary" for me, and I hope it does so as I soon head off into college. I've loved the sound of the piano through your music, and I can't describe the peace it brings me whenever I listen. Thank you for simply doing what you do. It means a lot :)
just came across this video searching for felt videos - downloaded onto contact and this is hands down the most beautiful piano plugin I've ever found.
Hi Marcus, thank you so much for this interesting video, I really enjoyed watching it (3:06 was hilarious, great editing! :D). I like how you told the story how you found and then sampled it - have fun with it, it sounds like a very cool instrument. And thank you for making this available to us too, instantly downloaded it. Regarding the felt question: I always had a problem with (sampled) felt pianos in that way that you couldn't really transition into the epic, big sound of a quite loud piano smoothly - and this sounds like it could be a solution. I'm looking forward too testing the vsti out. Cheers! :) PS: As a German I can say: Blüthner is pronounced with a "t", but I like the sound of it with a "th" too. :P
Thank you so much! And glad you're on the same page with how it's pronounced haha, Please let me know how you get on with the VST, hope it proves useful. :)
Absolutely amazing sound. It's simply exquisite. I've been contemplating adding some videos featuring felt to our collection, but considering my father's nearly 70 years of experience playing the piano, it would be strange to impose any limitations on his artistry. Thank you for generously sharing this beautiful piano version with us.
So the unique thing about that bluthner is that the hammers overstrike the strings and hit at a slight angle as opposed to the normal 90 degrees you get on most instraments. When you pair that with a softer voiced hammer it results in that tone you like so much. I have run accross those before and while I cannot say I like their custom action they had in those (possibly replaced by however rebuild your piano) the sound of them is really nice. Remmonisant of the 1840s erards and pleyel pianos which had a more harplike and softer quality to them. Though what is nice about this era bluthner is you still have power if you want it. I have always liked them.
The day couldn't be any better when you release a new video. Thank you again. And I also wanted to say great work on "The Meadow". You nailed that song as well. Just a blessing to see/hear something from you. Your new (remade) Piano looks and sounds amazing by the way. But what is a good Piano, without a great artist or composer sitting in front of it. ; - )
Cheers! Pianobook is still pending but my website should be working? If not here's a direct link: drive.google.com/uc?id=1P806yf2FOqG6XYg3xUnJkIa7CSZEKosn&export=download
Brother, everything about this video is top notch. As a fellow musician, I know the feeling of instant connection with an instrument is priceless, and you and this sweet Bloody sure do dance well together. Great taste, great style, keep up the good show. p.s. 8:49 I'm making coffee in the other room and only hear this at half volume and this part here gave me a real chill on the top of my head... I'd say this mellow lady's got GREAT dynamics.
Just stumbled across your channel as I was looking for an intimate piano for my ambient piano album. Can’t wait to get stuck in and so happy to have come across such great content. Keep it up, some amazing things ahead for you!
I'm lucky enough to have grown up with amy great grandmother's 1920s Bosendorfer grand that I've been looking after but it has way more of a metal sound than I'd like. Your Bluthner sounds like a hot knife through butter 🤤
Well done Marcus. You have the piano that you will wax lyrical the way I rode my perfect board in big waves in Hawaii in 1970... creative innovation and power tuning.
Totally love the tone of that piano, Marcus, and those hammers have been well treated. Congratulations! Blu must also enjoy the sound of the Bluthner... :)
Thanks Ryan! I was just improvising on a bit of Erik Satie (again, parroted from Christian Henson). I uploaded recently a piano version of 'Wintersong', an older piece of mine, played solo on the piano, if that's of any help. :)
This was a great video man, even for nice videos like these its obvious you care about them with the amount of quality and passion you pour into them. Content like this is fun and I hope you do more in future, you have such an amazing style. I will be here to witness more of your music in the future! When I one day get my bachelors in animation, i'd love to use some of your music for a few projects. See you around mate! o/ You were my most listened to artist of the year by the way man!
E.T.A. Remembered the piece finally!! It is Satie - Gnossiennes 1. Very masterfully played. Watching people moving pianos gives me heart palpitations and this was no different. Especially when they slightly dropped it down at one point. Eek!! Was just wondering what the name of the piece you're playing at around 04:50 is? I know the piece but just can't place it? Is it a Satie piece by any chance? Many thanks.
I have always had really old (like over 100 years old kind of old) upright pianos, but it has always been a dream of mine to have a grand. I just love their sound. I know every piano sounds slightly different depending on the brand, but what would be sort of be an equivalent to this one that you just got? Or just a general recommendation? The sound of it is just incredible. I'm excited for you and all the songs that you might create from it.
Thanks Katie! I'm not sure what you mean by equivalent, as in, a piano that sounds like this but isn't a Blüthner? I'm not sure I can really think of one off the top of my head. I would just get a Blüthner if you can haha. It is possible however to have a piano 'voiced' - as in, softening the hammers to make the sound warmer, or replacing with new harder hammers to brighten it - if you find a piano you love to play but it's not quite right tonally.
I really appreciate the first-person mic setup when you demo'd your Blüthner. Your virtual Blüthner sounds amazing too! Do you know if there a way I can integrate it into PianoTeq7?
Man this is a beautiful piano and an extremely generous gift! I’m gonna be downloading this and probably trying it out on a score (if this director still wants me on this project!), also you’re convincing me to put up a pair of those Soyuz, are those the FETs or Tube?
Depends. I have seen pretty decent quality pianos that only needed some basic regulation, a hammer filing, and some voicing that were listed for free. But also a lot of pianos that will cost far more to fix than they were worth new. I highly recommend asking a tech to look at it first. Ideally have them tune the piano so they can tell you the state of the pinblock. along with any other issues that may pop up. Avoid rusted strings. Avoid base strings that no longer have a shine to them. Check for bridge cracks and listen for any buzzing coming from soundboard cracks. And remember that you still will have to pay for the maintenance of the instrument which depending on your area may be more than its worth. To tune the piano may be 150 USD in a city with 300 dollar tunings for rural areas far away from the major cities. Not to mention you are likely going to be spending at least 300 dollars to move the piano to your location.
@@MarcusWarnerMusic oh, so the Felt Piano is an actual piano type with felt. The title reads a bit like there isn't reeaallyy a crisis, you just feel like there is one. it's a felt crisis.

Sounds gorgeous Marcus, looking forward to downloading that and having a play! Top stuff
Thank you Thomas, much appreciated!

Just tried out your piano samples and they sound fantastic!
what a beautiful sound!
What a great tone! And generously shared samples. Thanks a lot!
Videos like this make me more enthusiastic about learning music.
Another great video!! :)
they droped it!
I,m so glad found this great video. Thank you.
Sounds lovely, I'll go give it a try and leave a review
The real piano is so tasty and sweetie,
and great job on the VST

Ohh my! I have to use it :o
Sooner or later I'll make a nice piece using this piano you will see!!
Thank you
Lovely stuff
What a lovely sound! When can I come by and play it myself? Must be very fulfilling.
okokokokok i do be getting this one

Finally I realized how they move the piano into the room. Very delicated sound but also large dynamic range! Nice!
Can you please make it for decent sampler, please!!
Download links do not yet work for me, but I'm looking forward to try it out
Are you unironically driving a Continental Mk. IV? :D
Dude, check out the grand piano muffler rail.
hi Marcus, thanks for your video. Could you tell me what mic interface you used to plug-in your two Soyuz? thanks!
