The new Schimmel K 256 Concert Grand Piano was shipped to Melbourne in August 2005, where it was unboxed and assembled in the warehouse of Bernies Music Land in Ringwood. This allowed the Team partners to rehearse and become familiar with the instrument's touch and character prior to recording in the studio. Agents for Schimmel pianos is Bernies Music Land, Ringwood, sponsors of the Team of Pianists, who made the production of this CD possible. Following delivery to the studios of Move Records in Eaglemont, the recording sessions took place between 17 and October 2005.
