Great Piano recording session by Rex Roach and Lew Scharpf, Opelika, Alabama The piano is a very nice Steinway Model D concert grand in the Arts Center in Opelika, Alabama, our home town. The center was an old school house built in the 1930’s. The auditorium is extremely bright with hard plaster walls and ceiling, and wood floors. It was a challenge which took more than one session to arrive at a sound that pleased us when played back on a good system at home.
