THE PRELUDE
In the winter of 2021, amidst the global pandemic, Richard Sears, an American Jazz Pianist, embarked on a journey to a remote part of Latvia to meet David Klavins, the inventor of the Una Chorda - considered to be the world's largest pianos. There, using one of these towering, nearly 5m (15ft) tall instruments, Richard recorded a modern Jazz album.
