Abbey Road since the 1960s.

The Abbey Road Keyboards were recorded
using the original mics, outboard and

Studio Two, recreating not only the sound of
the instruments themselves, but the very
signal paths, technology and recording

The Harmonium has a soft attack and swelling, drone-like sound.

Abbey Road arsenal.
