Grand Piano Soundfonts and Samples
for Your Soundcard, Soft-synth or H/W Sampler !!
 | Sound samples recorded from a Steinway Model-C (7foot,5inch) grand piano.Note *FREE* soundfont download link lower down this page | |
Back in 1997, after being very disappointed with the few piano soundfonts and samples which were available, I began producing my own. By request, I started making them available to professional musicians and to the public on CD. The overwhelmingly positive and supportive feedback from users of my piano sample sets encouraged me to continue to produce new, larger and more sophisticated Grand Piano sample sets as new software samplers emerged.
I was very pleased that my piano sample sets were used by several professional studios that produced music for TV and film, so you have probably heard my piano samples as part of the background music on several popular TV shows or in the movies.
Now, in mid 2004, I feel that there are enough other commercial choices available of sufficient quality that it is no longer necessary for me to make my own sets available to the general public.
If I feel that my future generation piano sound sample sets are sufficiently superior to other commercial piano sets, I may make them available to the public again.
I am still providing the soundfont files for download, but I will not burn CDs for postal distribution as the direct file download is much more efficient.
