In July we had the pleasure of having Herbie Hancock and his band at Carroll Studios for 3 days. Of course they sounded amazing and as usual the production staff lead by Bill Winn was super cool and very professional.
We are also proud to announce a new partnership with Arlan Harris Pianos! Arlan will be providing pianos from his stock for our studios. He has started us out with a Yamaha C3 for studio 3 and a beautiful Yamaha 9′ Concert Grand for studio 4, with plans to provide pianos for studios 1 & 2 in the near future. Arlan has been a top piano tech in NYC for 30 years, his list of accomplishments include serving as the head of the New York chapter of the Piano Technician’s Guild and serving as technician for a who’s who list of the top pianists, musicians and singers of all time including Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea, Emanuel Axe, Evgeny Kissin, Vladimir Ashkenazi, and the list goes on. This is a very exciting development for us and we hope you notice the improved experience in our studios.
