Instruments: Our instruments are listed under TOYS. Most instruments can be used in any room, but the piano and Hammond Organ live in A full time.
* Please note: While Studio A gets first pick of microphones (and the plate reverb) we do encourage our engineers to share as much as possible with other sessions that are taking place in our facility. We have plenty of microphones and instruments, so we don’t usually have any trouble accommodating 2 full sessions.
This is only an approximate list of what we have for client use. Other equipment may be available for your session — there are always a lot of fun toys around our studios. Items marked with an asterisk (*) are not always available. If you have questions about something on this list, or need something that you don’t see listed here, please give us a call (617-623-3500) with any questions. If we don’t have it, or can’t get it, we’re happy to help you locate it.
