innovation, the SPIRIO | r. In addition to providing access to the ever-
expanding SPIRIO library, pianists can now record, edit, playback,
search and save their performances in STEINWAY’S proprietary
high-resolution format –. STEINWAY SPIRIO | r records and delivers
the most accurate reproduction of a live performance ever achieved
on a STEINWAY.
“STEINWAY’S culture of innovation has truly reached its pinnacle
through SPIRIO | r, which provides artists with the capabilities to
perform, record, and perfect their performances in a groundbreaking
new way,” states STEINWAY & SONS President & CEO, Ron Losby.
“Never before have artists been able to capture the nuance and
soul of their playing so precisely on a STEINWAY. As the maker of the
world’s finest piano, we are proud to introduce this new evolution of
our beloved instrument, and look forward to the opportunities this
technology will bring to professional and amateur pianists alike.”

nuance of their SPIRIO recordings.
