I listened to the GPO demos and thought the Steinway piano sounded absolutely dreadful. It sounded like it was not properly voiced, with a felty, deadened slap tone to each of the notes, and insufficient ring. The problem with these sample sets is that people have different esthetics about how the instruments should sound, as you say, but in the case of the Steinway, I don't get it -- who would buy a piano that sounded so bad (unless it was very cheap)? -- David W.
