found this :"The new MTV show "Duets" will give fans the chance to perform their favorite song with their favorite MTV artist. For an episode featuring Vanessa Carlton, audio engineer Ian Charbonneau used two of the artist's favored Sennheiser Evolution Series e 845 wired vocal microphones to capture her duet.
He recalled that Carlton had brought her own Sennheiser e 845 to the NAMM show’s Elton John tribute earlier this year and wanted to duplicate that recording."

Well it's not strictly Vanessa's equipment, but for the UK tour Jesse used an Orange Head & Amp (ala Black Sabbath) and a gibson looking guitar. Maybe somebody who actually knows stuff about guitars can give more detail from that blurred pic :)

I cannot imagine anyone favoring a Yamaha grand when given the choice of something else. But, they are really common. Their uprights have great bass for uprights... but their grands suck, IMNSHO. Maybe I have just had bad luck with them, but I have never found a Yamaha grand I really like. We have one at my church that I play occasionally. Action just feels wrong. I have no way to really describe it. Also, that thing can't keep in tune for very long. I have encountered similar problems with other Yamahas as well. (I play piano in jazz band. Lots of festivals have Yamahas.)
I think she probably plays Yamahas in concert because lugging around a grand from town to town is difficult. And Yamahas are everywhere.
Elton John may prefer his Yamaha CFIIS to anything else, but I still think he's crazy. :wink:
I do know that Vanessa really dug the pianos in Duets. Looked like Model D's or B's (C doesn't come in Walnut, if I remember correctly). Baldwin also makes some great pianos. As posted above, she has a Mason & Hamlin at her home.
-
She has a Roland XV-88 Keyboard around with here almost everywhere as well. I think it might be hers because it was backstage during the interview, and i've seen it on a few live performances (tv) when she played keyboard instead of piano.

i think vanessa isn't really into the digital ones...
steinways are good, aren't they?

duh.

Based on her comments when finally getting to play a real piano after having to use a syntesizer for a while, I would have to say most definitely that she prefers a real piano, but sometimes space and transport are restricting. If I'm going to play a keyboard, I'd at least like to have one with good simulated action, touch response, realistic sound, and PEDALS!!!

However.... I think their uprights have pretty good sound for an upright. Or at least, I like the one that my old piano teacher has.

The Chevy Car, smart one. :wink:

LOL! We're so oblivious to all these new-fangled names of cars, Joey.

It's not really new, it's been a round for a while.
-
Old-school, then. Sorry.
-
Not old-school, like 8 years ago!
-
Ahem. The Chevy Monte Carlo came out in more like 1970. Sure, the name was absent from 1989-1994, and it's now a FWD V6-er, but it's evolutionarily descended from the original. But anyway, yes, she looks quite comfortable in that new one in the Chevrolet calendar next month. 8)

My parents had a Monte Carlo back in the dayyy..
I think.

I'm looking at buying a new piano, and since the focal aspect of it will be Nessa's stuff, I want it to sound right...does anyone know what brand she uses? If not, any recommendations? I'm looking for an upright, not a grand *sniff :cry:* , and something with a reasonable price...
Here is some more info for you-Let
-
hey... vanessa uses many combinations of pianos in her studios. she even uses older piano derivatives of pianos (for example, the harmonium).. anyways, on BNN, Nessa has a piano with a very bright, clear sound ( a normal recording piano). If you want that kind of piano, just try out different pianos or ask pianos that have a brighter color to it... However, i have to warn you, a piano that has a bright color to the sound doesn't really sound good acoustically.. so try out every single piano you can, because every single one is made differently even if they are the same brand.
anyways, i'll give you some famous brands of "affordable" pianos:
roland
kawaii
yamaha ( i think vanessa said that these are not bad)
-
but i know that she love stienway pianos she said the sound is the cleares... i kinda agree but i have a yamaha it is realy affordable
also it depends on what kind of piano that you would like

Steinways are just amazing! I remember seeing a big poster advertisement for them when I was over in America, so we went to a shop and it was full of all these beautiful steinway pianos!

Right now I have a Young Chang...I love the sound, but the keys are too sluggish...they don't go down or spring back as easily as I'd like them to...not the best for playing Wanted :?

Steve is right. Even when she came to Oneonta she played our Grand Steinway that we use for "special occasions." I actually got to sit at it for a few minutes last semester at graduation.
