STUDIO 1
Studio 1 is high-ceilinged, spacious (132 sq ft) and houses our wonderful vintage collection of instruments, amplifiers and microphones. As well as serving as a recording studio, it is fully equipped for filming, photography and a multitude of other audio-visual purposes. It also includes an isolation booth.
Available to use are our beautiful, British-made John Broadwood & Sons barless grand piano (c. 1900), two vintage Wurlitzers (including a rare 270 “Butterfly” model), a 88 key Rhodes MKII Suitcase Piano, Hammond L100 organ with accompanying Leslie speaker and a 1960s Philicorda. We also have a mouth-watering selection of guitar amps, including a Vox AC30, a Fender Twin Reverb and a Music Man 212 HD and a Marshall stack, which once belonged to David Bowie’s guitarist, Mick Ronson.
A complete list of our gear can be found below, along with some videos of our favourites in action.
