The story

A quick and dirty holiday sampling of an old upright piano, manufactured by Skandinaviska Pianofabriken. Currently housed at our family farm just outside of Rättvik, a small village in the heart of Sweden.

The instrument requires the full version of Kontakt 5.8.1.

  • This quickly became one of my favourite pianos

    Pianos can be a very subjective topic. I can't explain it, there is something about this piano patch that I absolutely love. It's a simple plug-n-play piano, no extra options, no effects, nothing. The sustain pedal has its very own sound effects, too. Nothing too fancy, but it adds something to it.

    In terms of sampling, there is VERY little noise that you will only notice if you hold many notes for a very long time, and only if you are listening on high-tier headphones, so I don't know why I am even mentioning this.

    There is nothing else to say really, you just have to see it yourself. You may or may not love this as well. It's up to you to decide.

  • Finally, a good piano!

    Searched for piano samples for hours, tried 10 but had problems with each. Finally found the perfect one with no issues at all! I have no problem at all - it is just perfect!

    and having it for free feels slightly like a steal.

  • Fabulous sounding upright...

    Perhaps one of the best-sounding uprights on PB, this library is sure to impress. Impeccable consistency and sampling give a realistic performance every time and the GUI gives just the right amount of control without being overwhelming. Stefingo's best library without a doubt!

  • Wonderful characterful piano

    I love this piano. No bells or whistles, just wonderful characterful tone. It has a lovely "aged" old piano sound but without sounding out of tune or too weird and warbly. I have used it for a few folk guitar instrumentals to add some subtle Nick Drake "Pink Moon" style minimal piano melodies.

  • Perfect

    Great sounding piano that fits perfectly to my songs for kids.
