Nils Frahm reveals new ‘Solo’ album and the ‘Klavins 450’ piano project on the world’s first Piano Day!
Berlin-based composer Nils Frahm has fast become known as a prolific performer and recording artist with the piano at the core. Piano Day is an official body created by Nils and his closest friends,
and will house various exciting, piano-related projects. The first project revealed by the Piano Day team is the building of what will be world’s tallest piano: the Klavins 450.

As the life-long dream of David Klavins, it even exceeds the
currently largest upright piano there is, the Klavins M370. Situated in
Germany, Tübingen, 1.8 tons in weight, 3.7 meters high, its longest
strings are about 10 feet in length. And it was on this piano that Nils
recorded eight improvised piano motifs in one sitting, which form his
new ‘Solo’ album – available for free download on the world’s first
Piano Day on the 88th day (March 29, 2015) from www.pianoday.org.
Once recorded, Nils began to think of ways to release the album as a
gift to his fans, similarly to his 2012 release ‘Screws’, and that’s when
Nils came up with the idea of Piano Day.
With a target of 100.000 euros to reach, Nils eases his fans into
sharing their money for the project with this free release. All direct
donations and a portion from any record sales will go to the Klavins
450 project until the target has been hit.

the Klavins M370 is probably the largest upright piano there is. Its
longest strings are about 10 feet in length.
This colossus was initially built to evaluate a useful maximum size of
the piano. Driven by the assumption that pianos could sound better,
