A first-of-its-kind sampled instrument, made in collaboration between CHARLES JEFFREY LOVERBOY and Abbey Road Studios. Created to coincide with the launch of LOVERBOY’s Spring/Summer 2026 collection, the instrument which is called The Big Nessie is available to download for free from Abbey Road’s website now. The Big Nessie is a playable digital instrument designed for music makers of all levels, enabling producers to experiment with raw, textural sounds drawn from the creative world of LOVERBOY and Abbey Road Studios. 

The sounds found in the instrument are a mixture of field recordings from the LOVERBOY workshop in Somerset House and recordings made in the legendary Studio Two at Abbey Road with Charles and his musical director Tom Furse together with the Abbey Road team. The sounds were then edited and sound sculpted, before being wrapped with graphics designed by Charles. The resulting instrument triggers a library full of beautifully strange and raw sounds, giving producers warped percussive textures, tonal fragments and experimental rhythms to play with. 

Thank you to the team at Abbey Road and all who were involved in creating this tangible instrument, that allows anyone to push the limits of music creation with a LOVERBOY sound.
