Woodrow the Old Piano
Audio Production
Woodrow the Old Piano is a novelty musical toy and MIDI player, using real sounds from a distressed antique piano. You can play this virtual piano using PC keys or a MIDI input device (such as a digital piano) or load in MIDI files to be automatically played pianola-style.
Based on a real upright piano from the 1910s which has been sampled and remade in 3D, Woodrow the Old Piano is an out of tune piano simulator that resonates distressed, ragged sounds. Now you too can experience the ear-piercing noises of an out-of-shape antique piano without the inconvenience of stealing one from a haunted house.
Woodrow the Old Piano is a standalone musical toy, and not a plugin. Simply open it and enjoy! It's a fun virtual instrument to experiment with, and a charming gift for your musical friends.
Woodrow the Old Piano was first released on Steam Early Access in 2022, but it continues to receive updates and support by Silicon Kiwi. This virtual instrument was inspired by a real piano and a fondness for old but lovely aging instruments, which produce incredible sounds that are at times comical, scary, haunting, and strangely beautiful.
