Impact Soundworks Water Piano [KONTAKT]

A cinematic prepared piano like no other. Water Piano allows you to morph an intimate studio grand piano into infinitely evolving, atmospheric sounds that fit everything from new age to horror to action to chill. Created in partnership with YouTuber engineering genius Mattias Krantz, who filled the piano's case with gallons of water and recorded it at different water levels you can control, from dry to fully submerged.
