This video was made on July 20, 2010 on the second prototype of STONETONE. It is a Story & Clark 5' 1" baby grand piano (made in Indonesia) and is enhanced with a granite bridge. What makes this all the more remarkable is the fact that the crown of the sound board is completely intact; it produces a more vibrant sound.

Recorded here is the Debussy Clair de lune. Listen especially to the upper register because it truly out-sustains even some of the best grand pianos on the market. From the inception of ANY note, the fall-off of sound after the initial hit is almost nonexistent. In other words, it is pure tone from the outset.

There is one other posting of this piano that should be seen and heard. I am performing the Grieg Nocturne and the URL for that is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0AAocXTP65I

In addition, you may want to compare this Story and Clark piano with STONETONE's first prototype, a 105-year old Baldwin 6' 3" parlor grand. The internet addresses for this keyboard are located below:

Chopin Mazurka

Chopin Minute Waltz

Scriabin Prelude for Left Hand

ENJOY what you hear!

P.S. STONETONE will be coming out with some other pianos in the near future. STAY TUNED!!

  • Very beautiful and very serious.

  • Excellent Richard !!

  • Thank you, Richard Bosworth, for your performance of "Clair de l\Lune", the silver sound of the instrument perfectly gives imaginations of clear and cold light of Lune. In the other way, this silver sound in Grieg's "Nocturne" gives me more imagination of the winter morning than careful whisper of night flowers. Anyway it is beautiful...beautiful
