Artist References M189:

  • Imagine the sound of a piano that more closely resembles something you’ve never heard before but can only imagine—an ensemble of angel harps.
    The Una Corda concert instrument has a sound so astonishingly beautiful, clear, enchantingly delicate, and gentle that it indeed resembles a harp more than the timbre of a piano. However, in the lower registers, it does not lack the power to create a sound amplitude that can be described as uniquely broad and versatile.
    In the collection of a discerning connoisseur of musical artistry, this extraordinary and unforgettable masterpiece of piano craftsmanship would always stand as a truly impressive pride.

  • !A truly extraordinary sound experience ! … for me as a pianist, this special model of the Una Corda was a revelation in Sound, with its enormous vibrations from the long strings, almost moving into my body.  This is not like a regular grand piano at all … the sound is truly a stunning new world of piano-sound, with deep, deep bass tones that are clear and without the “mixage” that occurs on regular pianos.  Having one string does not mean at all that the sound is weak … it means that the sound is CLEAR and PURE ..  and that the tuning relations between the various tones is so lovely and peaceful.  The sound is so beautiful and endearing ! …  It’s the type of piano I would play just to hear its voice, regardless of whether I play a Beethoven sonata or Bach or my own Continuous music ….  everything sounds so heavenly.  I myself would LOVE to own one !

  • The instrument “Una Corda M189,” created by David Klavins, is undoubtedly a significant cultural treasure. This is especially true in relation to a deeper and clearer understanding of Baroque music, as well as an appreciation for the absolute quality and purity of its sound. I have no doubt that even the greatest musical genius, J.S. Bach, would have been delighted to have such an instrument in his possession.
    With great pleasure and inspiration, I was able to record J.S. Bach’s 48 Preludes and Fugues, whose artistic value could be revealed even more vividly on this instrument than on a piano, not to mention a harpsichord. I hope this instrument will gain wide recognition and spread around the world.
