Pure tone, timeless design
A study in clarity and precision, the New York L 1991 offers the feel of a finely maintained grand in its prime. Restored to showroom condition, it delivers a smooth, even response that makes every register speak with purpose and balance.
Five stereo microphone positions capture its full dimension, from focused, detailed close miking to a spacious, lively room sound. The result preserves both the accuracy of the instrument and the natural energy of its environment.
The Piano
Built in 1991 at the New York factory, this Steinway Model L was purchased from an official showroom in Seattle, WA and restored to pristine condition. Its action is smooth, its finish flawless, and every component reflects the precision of a piano that has been maintained to the highest standard.
The tone is clean and balanced, with even response across the entire range. Low notes are full and resonant, the highs are clear without harshness, and every register blends seamlessly.
The result is a grand piano that delivers a refined, consistent voice — ideal for any performance or recording where detail, control, and elegance take priority.
Technical Details
The New York L 1991 was sampled from a 5′10″ Steinway Model L (Serial No. 519373), built in 1991 and purchased directly from the Steinway showroom in Seattle, WA. Impeccably maintained and professionally restored, it plays and presents as if fresh from the factory.
Recording took place in a large, lively living room using five carefully positioned stereo microphone arrays, chosen to capture both the piano’s full tonal range and the natural energy of the space.

Microphone Positions
Close Cardioid
A pair of cardioid microphones set close to the bridge. The close mics give an “in your face” sound for a very close sound.
Close Omni
A pair of omni-directional microphones set close to the bridge. The close mics give an intimate sound, but maintain the fullness and resonance due to the omni-directional pattern.
XY
A pair of microphones set up in an X/Y configuration to capture the full sound of the piano without sounding artificially wide. provides a natural, more narrow sound with really good mono compatibility.
Under
A pair of microphone underneath the piano. This captures the percussive nature of the piano with a little bit of woody warmth.
Room
A pair of spaced omni-directional microphones about 6 feet away from the piano. These capture the entire piano and the room. This position gives a more distant sound and works best blended with the other microphone positions.
