As much as I love recording with the sampled pianos, there is NOTHING like the tactile feel and sound of a real grand piano. It is an absolutely beautiful MAHOGANY wood piano in mint condition. I just wanted to add though that I am about 2 weeks away from having a 1994 Kawai grand piano delivered - it is a gift to me from my mom. I have pianos with every note sampled for 30 seconds, which also gives me all the natural overtones - FABULOUS. You are right about how nice the sample libraries are these days for pianos. Most real pianos in the world don't sound as good as some of the less expensive sample libraries like True Pianos, and the real ones are always going out of tune, have to have mics placed perfectly, etc. It is funny how spoiled we have all gotten. There are a couple of new huge piano sample libraries out there but I am not convinced they are better. My Ivory II Grand Pianos Steinway sounds so real I can smell the wood and felt. Ivory II American D for about $189 is a Steinway only. I have Ivory II Grand Pianos which includes three different pianos for about $329. There are some equal, but I don't know of any better. Konradh Synthogy is still the top of the line for me and many people.
