Studio 2
The main room is exactly as it was before - we've even kept the piano. One of the best sounding rooms in the country, and it's got a fantastic vibe too - or, as we used to say "Spacious and atmospheric with a high ceiling - good for acoustic instruments, brilliant for drums. With a room size of 48 square metres.[2]
