There's a fantastic recording from a 1937 radio broadcast of Benny Goodman's band playing this one!

Great job with the dynamics! I have pumped these pianos before and I know it is hard to get right. Thanks for sharing this. Btw, on the off chance it would be useful to you, I have sheet music for this arrangement.

Nice recording as always! The piano sounds great tuned up, definitely is going to need new hammers or serious voicing to the old ones now though

[@dangerousnoodle3730]

The hammers are so flat for voicing, there could only be a few mm of felt if I did.

[@PiotrBarcz]

@@dangerousnoodle3730 I mean stick them with needles, you don't need to take off any felt

[@oo0McNugget0oo]

how do you always get the sound quality to sound so good, do you use a special microphone?

[@dangerousnoodle3730]

Nope, just straight out of my phone.
