That's my first reaction to it too. But the MSRP is the same before the MF discounts. Both MF and XLN show the three instrument bundle for 179.00 I can't find anything on the XLN site that refers to a 'Promo' Studio Collection which made me wonder if that term is part of MF's sale. Also, on the XLN site it gives you the option to buy the offer as an online download version or from one of their dealers, which MF is listed there. I didn't see the offer on the site until just a little while ago and I've been all over it much of today.
Anyway, it appears they just added the offer and if we get it, all the better. If not, the deal for three is still excellent!
But at this point, I won't negate a little hope until I find out from them.  :)

This is ONLY the HARD physical delivery version but still $29.

No I didn't get an electric grand...don't need it...the other three piano sets covers most things anyway....killer deal @ $29 !!!

+1  I wondered if this was a mistake,,, the math doesn't quite add up on the listing.  I would rather have the three we got for $29 than pay another $120 to get a free copy of the electric grand.

At most, they have it listed as an add on for 69.  So worst case scenario is if you wanted it all you would get it for around $100. But the math starts from the fact that both XLN and MF show it listed at 179. and both are selling it at a discount. So how much it is discounted is up to the one discounting it. Seems like the offer has to be true, no matter how much you paid.

I was going by this page.

Why the hell did I not think of that LOL

oops, sorry
 
 

After really spending some time with these pianos, I love the upright more than the grand.  The grand seems less defined but the upright is a true jewel,,, IMHO of course.  It's moved into my #1 favorite slot
 
I like the Rhodes, too.  Overall, getting two sets I like and one I totally love is a good deal
 
Thanks you guys for posting this, because otherwise I would have never known about it.  It actually got me to get out my Chopin and Beethoven books.  ;)

Missed it. Dang! :-(

How.does it compare to Toontracks EZKeys?

 
It's still there.

I don't have Toontracks, but the upright grand is like a desert island thing for me.  I am smitten.
 
 

I guess cable modem download speeds are getting pretty fast. I have a cable modem. I'd read in messages above it took like 4 and a half hours to download when you had received the package and your serial number.

It took probably less than an hour to download for me.

I'm enjoying it that's for sure!

I don't have expertise with the settings options yet, but basic experimenting around sounds really nice.

Just for giggles I decided to input monitor the addictive Keys grand simultaneously with True Pianos Amber which we get with Sonar X3. I thought it would sound muddy or conflicting to pile them on. I actually found it pleasing. I guess more harmonics maybe? It sounded a dash more complex, like some Windham Hill recordings.

And then I added Breverb and I was in bliss.

Nice...   I'll have to try that!

Cant do Musician Friends in Australia.

Really ?
I'm just over the ditch, and they ship that product to NZ - still a good deal even with the shipping on to (for a serial number, so I hear :-)
 
Check it again, I think you'll find you can.

I too just placed my order.  I love to hate you guys when you post such good deals as this.... :) .

It really isn't. I received and installed mine two days ago. Def the full deal (except for the Electric Grand add-on they're offering free to full price customers).

I got a reply from from XLN Audio regarding the Studio Collection for $29. It is the Promo Pak so it doesn't trigger the free update to the additional piano? So it's still an excellent deal.

Absolutely can't beat the $29 sales price.  Don't be put off by the "promo pack" name... This is the same "Studio Collection" that sells for $179.95 at the manufacturer's site.

Waiting for mine to arrive....Can't wait!
