Northwest Pianos is excited to bring a great new resource to you: Professional Audio and Video in our Mercer Music Hall.
The Piano Studio, a professional recording studio which has specialized in piano-based solo and ensemble recordings in the Seattle area since 2004, has moved its Steinway 9’ Concert Grand model D onto the stage, along with professional recording studio gear!
While all recitals in Mercer have been cancelled until further notice due to coronavirus, you can still have your talented and hard-working students come in individually to record their recital pieces! All that hard work can be captured - and you can use the professional videos for piano competitions and college applications, most of which now require video submissions.
Please contact Martin Buff at (206)851-3456, The Piano Studio owner and engineer, to schedule your private session or Live Stream concert today!
