Pianissimo II was performed on a one‑of‑a‑kind, hand‑built Yamaha CFIIIS nine‑foot concert grand piano and a seven‑foot Yamaha DC6 II Disklavier grand piano, at Star Wars creator George Lucas' prestigious Californian Skywalker Sound studio, in a "cathedral‑like room." Skywalker Sound is part of the Skywalker Ranch film complex — home to those very clever Industrial Light & Magic bods, whose special effects grace many of the world's top action movies — and was reputedly built especially for popular US vocalist Linda Rondstadt.
