Practice Room Piano

A Yamaha upright piano from the dorm practice rooms at Berklee College of Music

BySam Knight

The story

| go to Berklee College of Music and was recently assigned some homework to
sample any instrument in Kontakt. I’ve been a big fan of Pianobook since | first saw
it advertised by Christian, so | Knew | wanted to sample a piano and submit it here.
| sampled a Yamaha upright piano in the practice rooms in my dorm building, both
with the felt pedal and without. This is my first sample instrument, so | really spent
time learning how to use Kontakt and implement everything | wanted to. | recorded
with a Zoom Hin and an iPhone, because | love the lo-fi blend they can produce.

I’m really happy with how it came out, hope you enjoy!

  • Why we love this piano

    I am a fan of decent sampler and all the free sample packs. I use it for my students. with a serious disability. Pauline uses her eye gaze system and our free software EyePlayChords to make music. We just love to use this sound! This is a video we made this morning.

  • My favorite

    I tried almost every upright piano from pianobook, and this is my favorite! for my personal taste, it has more dynamic range in tone than others
