      NOTE: This is a free instrument that plays in the FREE Kontakt Player, so you don’t need to own the full version of Kontakt to use it.

      Groundbreaking British Fashion House CHARLES JEFFREY LOVERBOY and the world’s first and most iconic recording studio are creative collaborators, exploring the shared language of music, fashion, and innovation.

      Born from this artistic exchange, The Big Nessie is a first-of-its-kind, free sampled instrument. It’s an invitation to music makers of all levels to play and experiment.

      Powered by the Free Kontakt Player

      The Sound of Prepared Piano

      The Big Nessie is the sonic extension of LOVERBOY’s Spring / Summer 2026 collection, Prepared Piano — a season rooted in the collision of tradition and subversion, analogue process, and creative disruption.

      Inspired by John Cage’s 1940s technique, where the piano was modified to produce unfamiliar and unpredictable sounds, The Big Nessie reflects the shared spirit of both brands: playful, tactile, raw, and innovative.

      Rather than a traditional sampled instrument, it is designed as a creative playground, inviting producers to discover unexpected rhythms, warped textures, and unconventional tonal fragments.

        This looks a bit unusual (in a good way).

          I just tried it. It is definitely interesting. It’s a lot of heavily distorted sounds, including drum sounds. I tend to primarily work with the sounds I’ve always used in the read world, piano, electric piano, organ, drums, percussion, drum machines, guitar, mandolin, bass, glockenspiel, and synths. This is very experimental. It’s different.
