Where to rent piano studio to do recording?

[MetroSexy]

As above.

I've had MULTIPLE bad experience with Cristofori piano.

Just listen to my piano recording here done at Cristofori Music School Bishan Junction 8 branch last week. Paid $10.70 to rent the piano.

The squeaking of the damper pedal ruined my video for me.

Yesterday evening, I went down to reshoot this video. Paid $16. ALL their pianos had problem. Either squeaky damper pedal or some of the keys buzz or sounds extremely loud compared to the other keys even when you play it with the gentlest touch.


Can anyone recommend me a good studio to do recording? I've had MULTIPLE of my videos totally screwed up because of cristofori.

Another of my video which was affected is this.

A high C# that buzzed, and some keys that sounds extremely loud compared to the other keys on the piano, and a noisy pedal (Although not as bad as the one from Childhood Remembered)

If anyone can help me I'll really appreciate. I don't need a super good piano. Just one that works, a damper pedal that doesn't squeak, and silence so that I can record my piano transcriptions.

You may want to try moving your camera further from the piano. What you hear in the room may not be what the camera can record due to the electronic.

Did you put the camera on the piano? Use a tripod to hold the camera, this will help reduce vibration that causes distortion.

* can consider using a electronic piano. You can get pretty good result easier. Just use the Line Out from the e.piano to the Line In of your recorder. Oops.. That's if you have a recorder with line in.

It's definitely the damper pedal as I went back Cristofori to test all their pianos.

I'm saving up to buy a Modus F11. Argh. Probably can afford to buy it only next year. >_<

You think that a bottle of Singer oil will solve the problem?

Recording issues aside,

there's a piano room at esplanade library available for bookings. Check it out.
