The legendary Abbey Road Challen: a piano with two distinctive characters.

Abbey Road's iconic ‘studio’ piano, expertly recorded at its legendary home, in Studio Two.

The instrument features brass tipped felt strips that can be dropped between the hammers and strings, emulating the sound of a ‘tack piano’. The result is an instrument of two distinct characters: one mellow and dark; the second, percussive and bright. Close, Room and Vintage signals. Six presets. Six controls.
