The story

As a session keyboardist and ‘bedroom composer’ I am always using and comparing piano sample libraries. After finding piano book I noticed there were many felt pianos, but I’ve got too many of them and I personally look for bright, full attack pianos for both recordings and live gigging. So I therefore took it upon myself, after many prior hours of watching Christian Henson videos, to sample this well-recorded Steinway in the heart of Royal Northern College of Musics facilities. This is my first sample library and I learnt a hell load from it! Recorded in the middle of the coronavirus pandemic, I had limited resources so was only recorded stereo with a pair of ISK CM-30’s.

  • Very easy to play, simple and warm sound

    GUI is beautiful and easy to use! Sound is simple, warm and versatile. I will be using this a lot going forward.

  • Beautiful

    A lovely instrument. The "Composer’s elements" version is really magic - very well done!

  • With a few surprises

    I had a little play around with this one and wasn't overly impressed... After a few tweaks with the controls I stumbeled on an amazing sound. What a surprise. There is more to this than first meats the ear. For a first attempt at making a library this really is quite good. Great Job.
