Cotati carries the free-spirited legacy of the Inn of the Beginning—the iconic 1960s/70s venue that welcomed Jefferson Airplane, Joan Baez, Jerry Garcia and the New Riders of the Purple Sage, Janis Joplin drop-ins, and house band Bronze Hog. That loose, exploratory energy still thrives in jam sessions, improv nights, shared-house collaborations, late-night playing, and informal music-making where expression trumps perfection. Pianos get played with feeling and spontaneity, not stiff formality.

Floating Piano Factory tunes Cotati pianos to match that creative flow. We prioritize responsive setup and a forgiving feel under the hands, making subtle, musical adjustments only after listening closely to how the instrument is used. We keep them reliable and alive for spontaneous jams, collaborative hangs, or personal exploration—without rigid corrections that stifle the vibe or force unnatural results.
