EXs149 Acousticsamples A-Pian

The A-Pian Grand piano is an old Gaveau piano. Gaveau was a French piano manufacturer established in Paris in the year 1847. This particular piano was build in 1960 and is referred to as a "crapaud" ("Petite Grand" in English), which means that it's a little smaller than a "quart de queue" (baby grand). It has a very particular sound, very bright and full of inharmonicity in the bass due to the short length of the strings.

The sample-set includes three velocity sustain layers, three velocity release layers, key noises plus a resonance layer. Each note of the piano was recorded for full duration, providing an accurate sound with no artificial decay envelopes or sample loops.
