   About Tiny Telephone
Tiny Telephone is $350 a day. Engineers are (usually) $200 a day. For booking, please call 415-334-1970.
Please don't message us here. Thanks!

Tiny Telephone was opened in September of 1997 to provide affordable hi-fi recording to San Francisco's independent music community. Inside you'll find a spacious live room, a game room/lounge (ok, it's only got a tv and a PS2) and, in our control room, the city's most comfortable couch. You'll also find an automated, discrete Neve 5316 and a Studer 827, one of the finest 24-track recorders ever made. We've collected an arsenal of keyboards, including a Yamaha C3 grand piano, a Rhodes, Hammond B3 with Leslie, Wurlitzer 200A, and numorous classic synthesizers. We're right in the Mission in a gated, private compound with easy parking.

The studio is about 1700 sq. ft., with an isolation room, two rock-solid amp lockers, and a Bob Hodas-tuned control room. Since I am painfully addicted to buying audio gear, the following list will only improve.

Go to our FAQ to get detailed information about rates, directions and deposit info.

Hi! There is some possibility that there may be a few bands under the impression that I have left food that I borrowed from them in your fridge…I can’t imagine why they would think that, but they might, and it could happen. I recommend that you just pretend you don’t understand what they are talking about.

Thanks, and I’m so glad that we are friends! ~nan c.

If not for Tiny Telephone, there would be far fewer albums by these amazing artists recorded in warm analog glory for us all to enjoy.
