Steinway Grand
A beautiful Steinway Grand from Mediatech Institute in Dallas, TX

The story
I sampled the Steinway Grand at Mediatech Institute in Dallas, TX using a blend of Coles 4038’s, U47 clones and KM 84’s recorded through an SSL console.
I taught a music production class at Mediatech for close to 5 years. I spent most of my free moments at this piano. I focused on trying to make the sound as tight and warm as possible. The microphones were placed close to the soundboard and more attention was paid to the quieter velocity samples.

A masterpiece
This is my favorite instrument on pianobook. A masterfully recorded piano with definition, warmth and mojo that rivals many paid libraries. Great job Jon and thank you for your work.
Awesome work!
What a great piece of hard work! Thanks for everything.
Perfect and honest
Jon's Steinway is nothing if not an honest, simple-to-use, sampled piano. The velocity layers add plenty of finesse and the recorded mechanical sounds of the keys and pedals add to the authenticity. It's a delight to play as a solo instrument.
