That’s where Steinway & Sons’ new Spirio comes in. Steinway has been making the world’s finest traditional grand pianos for more than 160 years, but for the first time it has made a system that plays them for you. The Spirio produces the most accurate reproduction of live performances ever achieved: delicate pedaling, subtle phrasing, soft trills, and thundering fortissimos are all replicated with unparalleled accuracy. Steinway & Sons is recording an entirely new catalogue of music for the system, featuring the roster of over 1,700 Steinway Artists performing a wide range of genres. Chopsticks not included.
To control the Spirio system, Steinway & Sons provide a free iPad which wirelessly connects to it. As new music files become available, they are automatically added to the in-app listings. An integrated volume control permits fine adjustment – from subdued, background music to ‘Elton John has just landed in your living room’ levels.
