I did the blind test here and rated #6 best followed by #5, followed by #3..

Don't look ahead and judge in the first few minutes..

I chose No.1 as the best for that piece of music, but a different piece may have favoured one of the others. (Hence the reason musicians choose a particular types of piano for a particular set of songs)

To me number 1 and 5 definitely stand out, not suprisinly so I guess as I still have an old yamaha stage piano.
But I would like to add the V3 Piano XXL module from Austria to the bunch. I have only recently received it myself and it does an admirable job, provided you use a balanced keyboard:

Guess these days Pianos are not all the rage considering the response here so far.
Wonder if you guys would bother to listen to the following two pianos in addition to the demo link provided by Fran.
Played by yours truly, that is an advanced beginner on the piano really, but I am interested to learn:
A which of the two you like best
B and how that best one compares to the lot in the video

Personally i liked #2

that said there are so many things you can do to change the sound of an electronic piano.....but if I was a serious Piano player my choice would be ..

Hench why you want different brands of piano sample sets..

Its indeed not so much the quallity of the onboard sound that matters, but the differences between the orriginal Grand piano's..

Thats why Yamaha with only Yamaha and one Bosendorfer trails behind in usefull nes for a stage piano behind Korg and Nord. I used to have 5 different brands (Yamaha, Steinway, Bosendorfer, August Fostner, Fazioli) in my Kronos. Same goes for Nord that comes with even more high quallity grand piano's onboard. And thats just the samplesets.. from each of those samplesets a plethora of sounds is created.

My MODX has 3 Grand piano's YAmaha CFX and C7 and hte Bosendorfer Imperial 290. Thats enough to cover most of it due to the onboard edditing..



When my MODX gets sold, i will be adding the Yammex XXL to the Genos, which comes with 2 very good piano's, same as int he piano module from V3. Thats a German based Steinway and a Bosendorfer Imperial.

A few months ago, i bought a Dexibell Piano module, super high quallity, but sound managament was unpleasant, and i sold it again. as for Roland, there are some great Piano's in the Integra 7. And some even better ones in the V-piano (which is also inside the new Fantom)


Point is.. people here are basing their opinion on the orriginal Grand Piano's, and not on the sample and sound engine quallity of the Keyboard Brands. Which is a very possitive thing, as it shows how good those engines and sample sets actually are...

He Jules, leuk dat je even de moeite neemt om te reageren op mijn piano sounds en vraag................niet dus ?!!

Sorry about that, but those links didn’t work on my ipad.
So i could not listen to them..

Promise you that when i am home, i will listen them on my PC...

Hard to say..

Piano 1 seems to be sampled almost inside the piano.. also has much more bass added in EQ.. but it sounds rather rough..

Piano 2 seems much more ballanced, i would say thats a Yamaha grand piano sample.. somehow sounds less dynamic..

Hard decision.. i think i wouldn't choose either of them..
