Piano Haven Recording Studio

No longer just the personal recording studio of pianist Joe Bongiorno, Piano Haven Recording Studio in Seattle, WA has recently taken on new significance. The popularity of Joe’s recordings, most notably the ‘sound’ of his recordings, has become coveted by many pianists & is now readily available!

The atmosphere is perfect - a cozy home in a quiet, suburban Seattle neighborhood. A picture window view, high ceilings & a fireplace, a meticulously maintained 7’6” Kawai RX-7 piano, world class recording & mastering gear & a patient, seasoned engineer who lives & breathes piano music, Joe himself!

After bringing in a few pianists for a ‘test run’, they all left saying “this is where I want to record!” in resounding fashion. And record they have!

Take a listen to some of the recordings:

Testimonials from Whisperings artists:

David Nevue Piano Haven Studio"Hi Joe. I wanted to thank you so much for the use of your Piano Haven Studio for my last solo piano project, "Adoration." I had recorded nine previous albums in a professional recording studio environment and I always found them to be very stressful places to be - there were just so many things to worry about. At your Piano Haven, it was a totally different story. I have never been so relaxed during the recording process. The results were astounding.

The new album sounds better than anything I've released before AND the performances are relaxed and chilled out - just like I wanted them. While my other albums are all loved and well-received by my fans, Adoration has taken it up a notch. Finally, I have an album that *I* am really happy with. Thank you for your Piano Haven. It was just the place I needed."

" I recently recorded one of my first full length solo piano CD in many years at Joe Bongiorno's Piano Haven Recording Studio. This is the longest album I've ever recorded, exceeding one hour in length. The album is called Healing Piano and is 9 meditative, very mellow, improvised pieces. Joe is a great guy, a great pianist and composer, a great recording engineer, with one of the nicest pianos, a Kawai RX-7, that I've ever played. While recording I felt more relaxed than any other recording experience I've ever had.

Immediately upon releasing the album, initially on iTunes, I received positive feedback from fans about the new album and some high ratings and reviews on iTunes. One of the things I'm especially satisfied about regarding this recording at Piano Haven is that we did not need to use ANY compression or EQ at any point in this recording. All original dynamics are retained. If you like the sample recordings and you are a pianist, it's worth flying from anywhere in the world to record at Joe Bongiorno's pristine studio.

Louis Landon Piano Haven Studio" I took about a day and a half to record at Joe's Piano Haven Studio. His piano was perfect and so was the atmosphere and the recording quality. I'm not sure I could have had such a relaxed session in any other studio. To be able to improvise an entire CD required just the right state of mind, and I was able to achieve that at Piano Haven Studio.   

After some feedback from Whisperings Solo Piano Radio and my co-producer Eric Tingstad, I flew back for another session because I needed just a few more tunes. Again, the magic struck! I Came up with some really nice music. This is, by far, the best of my three solo piano CDs in terms of the music and the recording. I am extremely happy with the results and look forward to getting this music out into the world. If the people who listen to my music feel the feelings I had while making the music, I will be on my way of achieving my mission of creating a peaceful world, one listener at a time. Thank you Joe for making it possible for me to realize my mission in the form of this recording. Your friendship and generosity are greatly appreciated. Love and peace always and everywhere~ "

Christine Brown's "Promise" was nominated for 2009 'album of the year' by Whisperings Solo Piano Radio!!!

" My latest album,  titled “Promise” , is to date my favorite CD and the one I’m most proud of  – and I owe a lot of that to Joe and his Piano Haven Studio.  For starters, the piano is awesome – a gorgeous sounding instrument that I fell in love with the minute I began playing.  It was this piano’s rich, warm sound that I heard on David Nevue’s CD “Adoration”, and I knew I had to record on that Kawai grand! 

Joe was great, a fellow pianist who really knows how to record solo piano – something you can’t find in most studios.  Plus, a relaxed atmosphere where you feel comfortable and at home, not a cold studio environment.  This combination makes it the perfect place to record a piano album.  The music flowed naturally and I was very happy with the performances.  I have never had this experience at any other recording studio – nor could I ever find a piano that I was satisfied with.  Thank you, Joe, for helping me make this CD something I am very proud of – I can’t wait to record my next album there!
