A one-of-a-kind 9′ Steinway Concert D Grand

Available for Kontakt Player and Full versions

Recorded with insane detail (of course)

Concert “D”
At 9′, the Steinway D is considered by many the pinnacle of pianos.
The instrument we sampled is equipped with a custom system for re-performance, developed by Zenph. That’s how we recorded our samples so precisely!

All Pedal Combinations
We captured all of the possible variations one can play between the sustain, una corda pedals, and sans pedal.
The samples are beautifully even because of the ‘re-performance’ technology that this piano is equipped with!

Make it Your Own
You can easily bend this piano to your musical will! Our intuitive controls allow you to move easily between jazz/classical/cinematic/pop and beyond.
Beyond that, you’ll find a whole page of simple ways to alter the tone and feel of this majestic Steinway.
