Chaton Recordings

Recording studio in Scottsdale, Arizona (USA), opened ca. 1976 and owned and operated by [a=Ed Ravenscroft] and [a=Marie Ravenscroft]. It also functioned as label for local productions (sometimes appearing as just "Chaton").

The studio had 8-track, 16-track and 24-track facilities and also offered video services. Apart from the state-of-the-art equipment it was also notable for its owning a reconditioned Steinway grand piano from 1881.

In 2000 [a=Otto D’Agnolo] bought the gear and licensed the name, then built a new studio in downtown Phoenix under the name [l=Chaton Studios].
