The Quiet Piano

Beautiful old piano in the Alps sampled una corda at a the lowest dynamics possible.

The story

Located in a tiny village in the alps, The Quiet Piano is a beautiful old, dusty grand piano with rusty out-of-tune strings. We only sampled the quietest dynamics, all played una corda.

The pedal resonances have been sampled separately. This means you can play a note, then press down the sustain pedal and you will hear the sound of the resonating strings being added.

  • Great piano - The best soft piano online - WITH WARNING

    The soft attack is the most life like I have found. clear tones and amazing malleability.

    WARNING The Decent Sampler version is NOISY and missing options. The Kontakt version has two sound options "pedal script - Combined or Simple". The simple option has recording artifacts - unwanted NOISE - which can only be avoided by choosing "Combined", thus is unavailable in the Decent Sampler version.
    The noise is subtle and only really an issue when applying FX (Saturation, Compression).

    Thanks so much for the instrument. It is incredible.

    The main instrument plays so beautifully, I almost can't put it down. The atmospheres are inspiring, beautiful and, I believe, genuinely useable. The GUI is well laid out. Honestly, this is one that eclipses so many commercially available libraries, I am astonished. Straight 5 stars, thank you
