Probably realistic enough for the OP. He said he didn't need the realism. 88 keys is 7+ octaves--I'm betting one sample from each octave would be realistic enough. I would go with .wav or .aiff, though, rather than mp3, because it starts much more quickly. It wouldn't be enough for a realistic piano sound, though. A note typically has 3 parts: the attack, the sustain, and the decay. High notes have a much shorter attack and delay then low notes, as well as different overtones. Loud notes have a very distinctive attack, and volume controls wouldn't be able to emulate different attacks. I think the wave-form generators mentioned are well worth looking into--they're probably just reverse Fourier transforms. It involves a bit more coding, but you can get a pretty realistic piano sound using them.
