Dan's House Studio

I have found the absolute pinnacle of Baldwin's piano manufacturing available for sale at a church in Lancaster County, the massive 9' SD-10 concert grand.

If I could get it into my studio, I could create the crown jewel of my sampled Baldwin collection.

But I need help to get it here! Check out the link below to see how to help - and what the rewards are for lending a hand. You can get great deals on the pianos we make.

As my other instruments, it would be created for use with the UVI Falcon / Workstation sampling software, plugins that can use virtually ALL DAW apps - and can be used as standalones for performance, too.

Sampling a Baldwin concert grand piano - the SD-10 For years, I've wanted a 9'Baldwin grand to sample - now one's just become available! Can you help me get it into my studio?

Happy Mother's Day to my beautiful wife and best mother ever, Mitchell! I'm so happy to be with you today, and every day, so happy to be a part of this family.

We can't go out like we've always done, so Red Robin will come to us today to provide us the celebratory dinner!

This raccoon was quite curious about our trail cam!

Just wrapped up the "original cast recording" for Steve Brosky's stage show, a reworking of all the tunes featured in "Steve Brosky, The Musical".

Just remixed a song for the Insidious Rays, originally recorded in the studio way back in 2002!

Insidious Rays remixes Originally recorded in 2002, the old hard drive was cracked open today and the songs were remixed by me and my 2015 studio sensibility.

I am putting together a Kickstarter for a new project, and would like to get feedback from YOU before I post it!

Check it out - I am creating a sample library from my Baldwin grand piano to create a "virtual instrument" other musicians can use in their studios.

I will miss my old friend Hamish! He has been with me through thick and thin since 1998. Today was his last day here on this earth. He's frolicking now wherever dogs frolic after they're done with us here, which is a good thing, because he hasn't frolicked much these past few months.

Nor has he barked for quite a while, but in his day his voice was immortalized on many a recording at the studio, mostly inadvertently as a dim bark somewhere in the mix behind a vocal or piano track. Any mike left open was liable to catch of bit of Hamey.

He was a good dog, maybe the best ever. (Like everyone's dog!!)

Again, I will miss him.

Working hard on the new Mad Conductor album - in the final stretch!
