Northwest Pianos is excited to bring a great new resource to you: Professional Audio and Video in our Mercer Music Hall.
The Piano Studio, a professional recording studio which has specialized in piano-based solo and ensemble recordings in the Seattle area since 2004, has moved its Steinway 9’ Concert Grand model D onto the stage, along with professional recording studio gear!
While all recitals in Mercer have been cancelled until further notice due to coronavirus, you can still have your talented and hard-working students come in individually to record their recital pieces! All that hard work can be captured - and you can use the professional videos for piano competitions and college applications, most of which now require video submissions.
Please contact Martin Buff at (206)851-3456, The Piano Studio owner and engineer, to schedule your private session or Live Stream concert today!

In July 2026, Stanford reported on a study led by concert pianist Elizabeth Schumann, the Billie Bennett Director of Keyboard Programs at Stanford, with support from the Wu Tsai Human Performance Alliance.
Bonn — the city where Beethoven was born in 1770 — just wrapped up its month-long Beethovenfest, which ran from September 3 to October 3, 2026.
It was a homecoming in more ways than one. The festival's main venue, the Beethovenhalle, reopened in December 2025 after being closed for almost ten years of renovation. This September it was back at the center of the festival, with the London Symphony Orchestra opening the program.
