Virtual six-octave piano model 1001 by August Hoffman
The new EZkeys Small Upright Soundlibrary features a six-octave Model 1001 piano by August Hoffman, a respected Swedish manufacturer whose roots date back to the late 19th century. This very special piano is known under the nickname "Bambino" and was built in the 1970s. Due to its small construction it captivates by a very characteristic penetrating and clear sound, which is particularly well established in the mix. Although it has not been built for a long time, August Hoffman's "Bambino" is used in many songs by leading indie pop, rock and alternative bands, especially in today's modern pop music.
