Any chance of a Steinway?

Please do it, I would love that!

no, D :-)

I Agree, but a D please

Gentlemen and ladies, please

Let us not show disrespect to our patrons Modartt S.A.S, nor to the good Messrs Steinway and Sons, by asking for "a Steinway", as if any old Steinway, perhaps one that has been overlooked in some dusty corner of a studio or stage, could of itself truly represent the culmination of centuries of the piano maker's art, or of the piano imitator's art of the 21st century. Ask not, lest you tempt fate, and Fate responds in kind by providing you with - a logo. In a DVD case, in all probability, with marks whereupon you may apply scissors, and cut out and keep. Or stick onto your keyboard.

Tempt not providence that way, but better ask, after due consideration, _whose_ Steinway shall we have? For all Steinway's are equal, but some may be preferable to others on account of their size, condition, set up, or through  being imbued with the magic  touch of those who have worn down its ivories (more or less) over many years. Let us try to capture THAT Steinway for posterity. Nay, truly, for immortality. (And for the edification of its owner, who can point and say when in the company of friends, Have you had your ____ replicated yet?). 

So, ladies and gentlemen, whose Steinway shall it be?

Tempt not providence that way, but better ask, after due consideration, _whose_ Steinway shall we have?

Hm, let's say the one that Keith Emerson likes to play? :-)

Bontempi ?? *runs waway*

How about a compromise? First a Hamburg Steinway B and then a Hamburg Steinway D?
From the player's perspective?

Another vote for Keith Emerson's Steinway!!!

Garritan and Steinway will very soon launch a new Steinway (sampled) version which will be the new standard instead of Ivory or NI. This sound should be captured by Pianoteq.

To complicate matters further, Steinway has endorsed a VST sample product with the Steinway name on it, so maybe Modartt  can model it, but call it something else for legal reasons :-)

But..I agree..it would be great to model a Stienway ( spelled that way ) :-)

But why Steinway would want to pay moddart? Perhaps they would try to buy the company and the software, since they are financial monsters, they have lots of it enough to credit them even the rights to the software. The question is: will be moddart for sale in the future.? :-?

But Im digressing here. It would be awesome to have an Imperial modeled within pianoteq. :-)

I doubt "Stienway" would pass legal scrutiny, and "Stonestrasse" neither,  tho "Kleinway" possibly could .

It will be interesting to see if Garritan can pull something extra out of the sampling bag compared to other sampled instruments (price excepted). Not that _I_ am interested one bit (the LSB).
