The Ultimate Model of a Model B

The 6' 11" Steinway Model B is the most recorded studio piano for a reason, delivering the ideal, mixable studio grand sound as heard on countless modern hits, across every genre. Its rich tones blend perfectly with drums, bass, electric guitar, and other surrounding instruments — never muddying up mixes and instead giving you a balanced, mix-ready piano track every time.

Introducing UltraResonance™ Technology

UltraResonance™ technology by UA replicates the natural sympathetic string resonance found in real pianos. This feature allows undamped strings and the soundboard to vibrate in response to played notes, creating rich, evolving harmonics. It provides a seamless blend of tones, from soft, muted notes to atmospheric nuances, setting a new standard in piano realism.

Simple Control of Perfectly Placed Mics

Ravel’s user-friendly interface delivers professional, record-ready sound with minimal effort. It offers three vintage mic pairs selected by engineer Allen Sides, allowing you to easily adjust the Volume, Tone, and a Close/Room mic slider. This setup gives you complete control, from intimate piano tones to a rich, spacious sound, without navigating complex menus.

More Modern Textures

Looking to add drama, suspense, or other left-of-center timbres? Ravel's Reverse feature lets you easily add unique atmospheric piano sounds. Use the Mix control to add in subtle reverse textures to your normal piano playing, or go completely "backwards" for all kinds of fun. You can even “play the control” for surprising real-time performance changes.
