Imperfections That Sing
Firewood Piano – Cracked-Bridge Upright, 3 Mic Signals & The Lumineers’ Raw Charm for Intimate Composition

Originals Firewood Piano captures the soulful imperfections of a cracked-bridge upright piano, performed by Jeremiah Fraites of The Lumineers at Colorado Sound Studios. Three mic signals — Close (intimate condenser mics), Mid (vintage mono/stereo blend), and Pad (resonant strings via sostenuto pedal) — offer tonal versatility, while presets like Felt and Warps embrace lo-fi textures. Six controls (reverb, dynamics, note tightness) refine its homespun character, making it ideal for indie folk, film scoring, or ambient soundscapes.
