I too recommend looking at the KIVR and also the other historic piano pack. The Blüthner and has its own unique character, which is particularly suited for Rachmaninov and Debussy, but good for Fauré, and others in the French school. I played a real Royale, and I wasn't impressed with that one either so it must be the Grotrian sound. I've tried various things to make more exciting, but it's there and doesn't do much. Steinway has their distinct sound that sets them apart from the others and the Grotrian is plain with nothing particularly exciting about it.

There are some that are clear and minty such as the Streicher and Bechstein while the Bosendorfer is like dark creamy chocolate. I liken instruments to morsels of fine chocolate and candy. That's what I did because I was like a kid in a chocolate factory picking out pianos and had to put the brakes on because I was well past my budget! Get the three you want now and then pick up the others later. (and yes, i know this is all very personal taste anyway) in terms of 'complexity' of presets etc they seem a good thing to have, though.Īnd then, there are the electric pianos, too, (which aren't that great, i think) but might also be a good add-on because they are very different?Īny advice what instruments i must have / should not miss out on / should skip? Do I NEED that one? (I personally find them a bit too artificial/synth sounding, especially the NY). (so, by now it would be Steinway B, Bechstein, and U4)īut then, there's also the NY and Hamburg Steinway that everybody is raving about. Plus, the uprights would be a totally different kind of piano, therefore possibly a good addition? (or is the Bluethner better than the ones mentioned?)īut then there's also the U4 uprights, which i really like. I really like the Bechstein, i also like the Grotian, and the K2 - (possibly preferring the Bechstein at the moment among these three) So far, there's only one instrument that i really really KNOW i want: Now i need some advice on what 3 instrument packs to choose for a pianoteq standard licence. (I am a complete beginner with playing piano, though)
I finally had a chance to try out the demo, and i am quite impressed.
