I love Dan’s piano voicings. It’s like a blanket of wholesomeness that reassures me that despite all the woes in the world, I’m lucky to live in this tiny pocket and enjoy listening to luscious voice-leading extended chordal goodness. Thanks Dan.

[@BDWoodruffmusic]

Don't need another piano, but love the Originals series overall. Please give us an Originals or LABS of frame drums. You guys do great work! Thank you so much.

[@nikolajabramson7608]

Please give us some Jazz-Love … Muted Trumpet or Upright Bass. Would be great, thanks!

[@AlexPolensky]

I second the upright bass!! That would be so helpful

[@kobaye5173]

I totally agree ! that would be awesome !

[@514musique]

On this topic, what is a good muted trumpet plug-in?

[@wesboundmusic]

Just when you think you've already heard every great digital grand piano replica there is, you good folks prove us (me) wrong! Wow. Sounds totally awesome!

[@Spookyy24]

OOO IM HYPED!! The Orig!nals series has been a godsend for me and my work, so I'm excited to see what's next!

[@captainbaptain]

Dan, this is a gorgeous composition on a gorgeous instrument. Such delicate warmth!

[@brnktv]

This just invokes tears. The intimacy is so overwhelming. I love it.

[@didgegirl6]

Ohmygooooooood! This is GORGEOUS! Thank you!

[@kelpo40]

A decent upright bass would be a godsend!! If not now, fingers crossed for the near future

[@JasonLaPrade]

I've been using the AmpleSound Upright. Extremely happy with the sound of it.

[@weschilton]

You should check out Trillian from Spectrasonics!

[@spiritofenquiry]

​@@JasonLaPrade​ agree about the Ample Sound Upright...

[@Fliebeltje]

You go Dan! Lovely addition to the Originals series

[@BoogieBear]

Lovely sounding piano 🎶🎶🎶

[@FlowJunkee65]

After listening to this demo, I had to have this software - just bought it. I look forward to including this gorgeous piano into my rotation.

[@attentionlabel]

Just gorgeous. Love you folks over at Spitfire.

[@justcallmesando]

This sounds and FEELS so beautiful

[@bright1180]

Just had to have. So inspiring!

[@jeffcure7058]

Thanks Dan a great in-depth video I’ve purchased this and it sounds great

[@bryancolevox]

Sounds fantastic!

[@cooltrades7469]

Stunning. Well done. Great. Etc. The of first felt pianos that I like.

[@omarabouafach3493]

great work as always

[@A.I.Mmusic]

Best investment I did in a loooong time. Love this❤

[@JMXCzw]

Sensational... rich sounds always...

[@droner5423]

Looks like I will be buying this

[@samaltima6998]

Just purchased this, very nice sound.

[@matthewoneal2736]

One of the best pianos I've been able to use! This thing is great!! If you're wondering if you should buy it, you should!!

[@musiccreation1198]

Excellent demo...ty

[@markleasermusic]

Just bought/downloaded and spent the last hour with it … the price was too good to be true based on the demo, and I had to try it. This is now one of the best piano samples I own. The binaural mic setting thru headphones is inspirational. Overall feeling is like playing my old, weathered, but tuned-up, Model S. Also, the Spitfire interface is delightful. I’m sure I get a dopamine release just working with it. :-) Great job! I am grateful for perfectionists like you and your Spitfire team who reach high and then deliver. Thank you.

[@armaan1560]

I've been thinking of grabbing it. What would you suggest? As I'm needing a Soft/Mellow Vst, for calmer pieces. Should I get the Felt Piano, Soft Cinematic, or this?

[@gavinkaufmanworld]

Sounds incredible!! 😁

[@ronaldwild]

sounds lovely

[@kevinsturges6957]

Very nice. I will be purchasing this soon.

[@mickehog76]

I listened to all originals piano plugins. And this is my favorite. And the price is really good.

[@StergiosNikolaouofficial_]

THANK YOU!!!!See you soon.I will dedicate my next composition to you guys!!!!!

What a marvellous piano tone, this is the sort of piano sound that I loved so much in Jules de Corte's melancholy songs - if you're from the Netherlands and above a certain age you might understand what I mean.

[@hleet]

It's really well explained !

[@qqq9542]

The timing is just utterly perfect. Was shopping around for a Piano VST. Was so close to buying the Pool Project, but now I'm gonna BUY THIS.

[@DarioBortolato]

Bellissimo!!!

[@angelocast]

The sound is nothing without the player. Lovely music by Dan make this new piano amazing! ...time to buy it!

[@ndwknss]

I definitely don't need another piano but my goodness, this sounds good. I'm gonna go ahead and get it right now. Thanks!

[@janniku2822]

I'm hyped

[@twocanucksful]

Coolest intro!

[@nick15684]

Great that we finally get a grand piano for once, we got plenty of upright pianos at this point.

[@ASTROMEGA]

Great presentation.

[@anatomicallymodernhuman5175]

You can't imagine how perfectly timed this is for me. I must confess, my first response was a sarcastic, "Oh, good! A piano at long last." But as soon as your fingers touched the keyboard, I knew this was going to be my new best friend. Perfect for a project I just took on.

[@jeannevilla8527]

Uprights are great. However... This sound reverberates to the key of one's soul. Magnificent. Inspiring.

[@doublehelix3952]

The piano's higher register (starting ~8:22 & 8:48) sounds quite nice--understated, yet open and crystalline

[@compucorder64]

Great work, and another inspiring demonstration. Spitfire, I hope you don't mind if I suggest that you might be wise to use Dan Keen's excellent Cinematic Frozen Strings video on the landing info page for that product? It's definitely inspired me to buy that product this month. And possibly this one as well. Although I'm loving the Pianobook Woodland piano loads, at the moment. And intimate / frozen concert classical guitar or choir ensemble would be the products I'd most like to see.

[@OfficialStevenCravis]

Very amazing for $29!

[@kylesinclair4438]

Please be vocals/choir. Too many piano and string stuff from Spitfire now.

[@waningbloom]

Legitimately wish there was a Children’s Choir Labs or Ethnic Bulgarian Choir Labs because I wanna make offsetting music with those. I can’t even buy FL studios in the first place because I’m broke, so I can’t get that specific choir either because frankly it’s double the price.

[@arcticsound7341]

never too many strings and pianos! but agree some vocals would be nice as well.

[@LuisTorres-qz5kr]

Yeah!

[@4kfreelance]

You've got a playing style similar to mine. Like that of Randy Newman using complex chords to make a piano sound how it should sound, nice and sweeeeeet.

[@JonManness]

That's sounds SO GOOD! $29? Where's my credit card...

[@faefeeler]

On first thought I was like: you can’t just stock up piano plugins and never use them 😒 and then I purchased Intimate Grand Piano lol. When I finally started to play I fell in love completely!!! I was searching for a piano plugin which would make me feel like playing a real instrument for over 4 years. Thanks Spitfire Audio for doing such a great job 🥰 my favorite preset is Reverberant Ribbons (with Valhalla Supermassive reverb).

[@AndrewPRoberts]

FINALLY

[@efernandezabril]

Nevermind the excellent piano sound…where do I learn to play like you?

[@nathanieljohnsonjr775]

Wow

[@HansolJang]

dynamic range is so good and clean. fazioli dehangma.

[@threeforcegaming1769]

Sounds amazing but I have so many pianos already. Can we get a sax? Upright bass (jazz style)?

[@petersvan7880]

Lovely piano, now back working on Abbey Road One Orchestral Foundation High Strings Legato addon :)

[@adriendelasalle8981]

Looks great! I already have Noire, is it a good complement ?

[@davidwitte6466]

What is make and model of fader bank you are using for expression control? That would be the desktop unit on your left. And thanks for the demo!

[@seamonstersounds]

Nice demo. Next time, more stylistic range would be appreciated, including more percussive jazz styles and/or some fortissimo concerto. As well as some longer note ring-out.

[@strasburgoseries0001]

You are fantastic and your products are incredible. But another piano is an act of bullying! There are already 6 pianos in the collection plus Paul Thomson's fantastic Yamaha grand piano (media toolkit). We can make a movie: the invasion of the ultra-piano😂

[@dhoch]

Is this where the line forms?😊

[@pistoFF]

😊

[@micwarren21]

If I were a musical diabetic another piano plug-in would be like a quadruple dose of sugar to me.

[@pampymusic]

Does it go super dry? Like the labs soft piano? Or theres gonna be a room tail?

[@aidanpilato]

Now I'm 100% sure that Spitfire wants me to be broke.

[@TemmeSikkema]

Hi Dan and Spitfire Team. Another gem recorded at Castle Sound. Ever since you released this piano instrument I have wondered about something. I know mister Henson is a Blue Nile fan, he mentioned it in that Caste Sound Creative Cribs episode. A great Scottish band that recorded all of their seminal albums at Castle Sound… which begs the question: Is this in fact the same grand piano that can be heard on the Blue Nile albums? In other words maybe: did you rent a grand piano and record it at the studio? Or is this in fact their own grand that’s been used there for “decades”? (This last part is pure speculation) Does anybody know? I am just a sucker for cool trivia like that you know… Thanks for any intel on this

[@pumpaween2740]

👍

[@ivanbatucada]

you can develop a Brazilian percussion and rabeca string instrument? Please!!!

[@desoconnor7445]

Well I have never really considered the possibility of spending 29 credits , for serious use on a piano before …could it be any good at such a price…how could it be any good if it borderline costs less than a really good glass of fine wine and some minute portion of a supposed delicacy and a few grams of mangled salad art. Well in my opinion it’s at gift at the asking price , it is a great fresh vision of a scoring resource….an open and honest piano instrument ..as Dan stated ….potentially an expressive leader in contemporary music..why not . I love the way across most octaves it has sonic balance and is pleasant .I listened to Pete Caldera musing with this library and I forgot it was a sampled instrument . Well done Spitfire team. 👍🎩🙏🏿🦄🙏

[@ion677]

Any chance a version for decent sampler coming soon?

[@yosaponjosephromeokunavipa2489]

how does it compare to Midnight grand by fracture sound?

[@genistgn853]

This sounds even better than Firewood 😭

[@lefteriscomposer]

How many dynamic layers were recorded for each note? Thank you

[@JashandeepReehalMusic]

It says 3 Dynamic Layers

[@timirinne2640]

Bought it, but it doesn't show up in the LABS plugin when opened in Ableton, if it should show up as an separate plugin in the Ableton's plugins list, it doesn't, tried couple hours, cmon any help?

[@The_Invisible_Man]

How many velocity sample layers?

[@vv4960]

No demo version available?

[@BowrainSound]

does anyone know which midi keyboard is the pianist using?

[@guilled4283]

A Steinway Model A Grand Piano? 👀

[@utentettt]

How many sounds in the packet?

[@nilethechamp]

what midi-keys ist he using

[@brucescism]

What midi controller are you using in this video?

[@Justin.Franks]

Doepfer LMK2+

[@Latzenpratz]

Stereo Piano?

[@cheesysped]

I own four Spitfire Originals Pianos, and I am obsessed with old felt pianos. I really don't need this, so will be really exercising will power not to buy this 'just because' lol.

[@p.h.s.4459]

Great sounding piano! But... i would certainly dial down the sampled mechanical sounds (pedal, hammers). It's somewhat annoyiing at the level that it is set at and doesn't sound natural.

[@tendingtropic7778]

this or native instruments Noire?

[@hectorduncan7449]

What happened to the tuning? It was perfectly tuned at the sample stage but not now.

[@Dean-ee1il]

Which keyboard controller are you using?

[@JashandeepReehalMusic]

I believe it's a Doepfer keyboard

[@emanuel_soundtrack]

Doepfer from germany, ca 1300EUR, on my list. If you have more money buy roland lx 17, my love and daily bread 🥖

[@DonHajicek]

Sets reminder and reaches for credit card...

[@stephentappin8534]

Sounds wonderful! Worth every penny. But.. why do we (Uk) pay more penny’s than our European and American friends?

[@JayTheLane]

Three dynamic layers isn't a great deal for articulation but maybe that's not the plan with a £29 library.

[@DavidFedele]

How does this compare to "Noire" by Native Instruments? Anyone got both and can comment? :-)

[@tendingtropic7778]

i would like to know too

[@TheRealSming]

Olafur Arnalds Danish piano

[@steph1918]

Oh yes you mean the Andreas Christensen one? Absolutely wonderful.

[@PetrGladkikh]

You can get the same sound with Pianoteq / Ant. Petroff Mistral (or any felt pianos there) = €260 Do not tell me it you prefer the sound from this video unless you've done a blind comparison.

[@dubaisensei]

whats Originals?

[@lisabethlawrence]

Smaller and affordable high quality libraries made by Spitfire. I have Intimate Strings and it is amazing and only @29.

[@adamg8016]

Originals binaural piano

[@GerlandoGibilaro]

actually a piano was missing from the collection....

[@musicbycandlelightmbc3225]

I had purchased the originals Felt Piano and I am absolutely disappointed with it. The lower frequencies between 200 to roughly 400 resonates harshly for my ears. A few others on a live stream mentioned this as well about the felt piano. I tried to scoop those frequencies and played around with it but to no avail, it was getting worse. I wish I could get an exchange for either the cinematic piano but preferably the intimate piano. Anything but the felt one that just sits on my drive now.

[@robertmaitland921]

What's with all the reverb?

[@jakeskate1998]

did you guys forget about the giveaway in the livestream?
