Sounds of Tokyo

Plucking and tapping a thumb piano in a Tokyo drum museum in May 2008. Recorded on a Zoom H4, light eq and compression added in Ableton. It's pretty rough, lots of room noise but wanted to post it cos is it useable. If you tune this down an octave and stick it through a gtr amp, you can get some cool double bass/piano type sounds going, and some atmospherics from the squeaks and clunks. Here's one I made earlier.
