    Great demos ..but I don't get a sense of the piano sustain 'bloom' that you can get on a real piano. At least on my Bechstein at home the sustain is amazing. I would like to hear some more creative pedalling and some louder passages with the soft pedal. Many pianists ignore the louder tone of the soft pedal which is very expressive.

    No matter what the demos sound like I'll never know if this piano works for me or not until I try it for a few hours.  I'm hoping this will be the last sampled piano I'll have to buy for a long time.

    Just bumping this with a request for more demos with closer perspective.  Listened again to one of the new demos but the trumpet is way too loud and the piano is so far off in the distance that between those two things it doesn't really show off what it might be capable of.

     I've  just added two more demos, Copin Etudes op 25 nr. 6 & nr. 11.

    Wonderful and virtuous perfomances by Guy Bacos. All three perspectives are featured - you find close and player position in an zip file in the "Download Tutorial".

    Hopefully next week we can also add videos where you can see Guy's live performes of this two pieces.

    Great playing Guy!   I'm jealous of your chops.   You're a talented bastard![:D]   Look forward to watching your performance.

    Best,

    Yes, hoping to hear some pno demos with little or no reverb. Too much in these demos so far to make judgements.

    Hardly any rev was used. Perhaps you mean sus pedal?

    I'm sure he hasn't downloaded the tutorial which contains the close perspective version.  

    Wish I could play like that.

    Hearing the piano with the orchestra would probably sell this to me more.

    Excellent Guy!

    I wouldn't have suspected for a second that this was a sampled instrument. To be able to play like that.  [:(]

    Look forward to the videos.

    P.S.  Op25-11 cuts out at 3:28 even though it downloaded to 4:11

    All classical so far, still hoping for a contemporary/modern piece.

    Contemporary pop or contemporary dissonant... Ligeti...?

    Pop please.  Even one demo would be helpful.

    Sorry Guy, I hadn't heard your demos, just the Saint Saens with the bassoon and was just hoping for more isolated piano, but now I see you've done that with little or no reverb, thanks, Gary

    Any chance that some of the Bösendorfer Imperial demos could be re-rendered with Vienna Imperial for comparison?

    I'm going to be starting to write a piano concerto sooner or later so if there was an orchestral demo I would very likely buy this.
