 KNOXVILLE, TN, May 9, 2017  Waves Audio, a leading provider of digital signal processing solutions and digital music production tools, is now shipping the Waves Grand Rhapsody piano, an addition to its expanding line of virtual instruments. Grand Rhapsody was sampled from the Fazioli F228 grand piano housed at London’s Metropolis Studios – the very piano played on GRAMMY®-winning hits such as Adele’s “Hello.” 

Like a sleek Italian sports car, the Fazioli F228 model was engineered from the finest Italian parts and craftsmanship, taking its wood from the same red spruce forest where Antonio Stradivari cultivated his rare and celebrated violins. The deep bass, rich resonance and crystal clear tonal qualities produced by the wood have made the Fazioli a highly coveted instrument for the most discerning ears in music. 

Recorded at Metropolis with eight different pairs of state-of-the-art microphones (B&K 4007, Shure SM57, Neumann U87, Royer R121, SE RN17, Coles 4038, Neumann KM84 and AKG C451) and using the highest-quality preamps and converters, Waves’ Grand Rhapsody virtual piano delivers the same majestic sound as the original piano, with added features that only a plugin can provide.
