The Steinway Spirio: Unmatched Recording & Playback Quality

Describing Steinway & Sons pianos as impeccably crafted to produce a pristine, lush sound that is unmatched by any other instrument is not particularly innovative – the company’s pianos have been described as such for over 100 years. Steinway’s new high resolution player piano, The Spirio, however, is the epitome of innovation.


This groundbreaking piano has set a new standard of resonance, nuance, and intuition in the digital instrument realm, while also trailblazing beyond the capabilities of any other electronic piano available – offering highly sophisticated recording and playback capabilities. 

Have you been wondering exactly what a Spirio player piano could contribute to your playing and listening experience? The specialized team at Piano Planet can teach you anything and everything about this unrivaled, world-class instrument. 


To get started, here are just a handful of the Spirio’s spectacular features:

  • Recording Capabilities – The Spirio allows you to record your performances in real time, with a hyper-sensitive and intuitive system that captures every nuance and dynamic change. Using the instrument’s simple integrated controls, you can easily save and share your recordings in various formats, including midi, MP3, and Spirio’s proprietary high-resolution format.

  • High-Resolution Playback – Spirio features a playback accuracy of 1/100th of a second and a high sampling rate of 96kHz, allowing for the most detailed sound reproduction possible. This means that once you’ve recorded your performance, you can be certain it will be reproduced in playback exactly as you played it. It also means that you can listen to any recordings from Spirio's enormous catalog of famous piano concerts and distinctly hear the original expression, dynamic range, and wealth of nuance created by the real pianist.


  • Precision Mechanics – Every key on a Spirio is equipped with sensors that detect the velocity and timing of each note. Steinway has equipped this cutting-edge instrument with a meticulously designed action mechanism that captures the subtleties of a pianist’s unique touch.

  • Customization Capabilities – With a Spirio, you’ll not only have the tonal acoustic richness of a Steinway, but you’ll be able to tailor your piano to your unique playing style. This advanced system allows you to adjust the velocity curves for personalized touch response. You can also fine-tune your Spirio’s balance and tonal quality, ensuring it is truly your instrument, attuned to your artistic expression.

  • Superior Editing Capacity – Along with its unrivaled recording and playback capacities, the Spirio includes a native editor app that allows you to edit every nuance and detail of your Spirio recordings from your iPad.This intuitive program allows you to modify the velocity of every note, adjust note duration, remove or replace incorrect notes, alter pedal sustain and shift, and add or delete time. For professional recording artists and composers hoping to perfectly capture a new idea, the ability to edit at this level is incredibly useful and unprecedented.


As if these impressive features alone weren’t enough, the Spirio contains an immense library of famous piano performances from throughout history, including recordings of Steinway artists unavailable anywhere else. 

Piano Planet is proud to offer various Spirio models – including the Model M, Model B, and the Koa Spirio.
