Best Cheesy Honky Tonk Piano?
Any recommendations for a cool honky tonk / ragtime piano for use in Sonar? Seems like there's a ton of concert grands, but I can't find one that's been soaked in beer.

SampleTekk's Rain piano should fit the bill, BUT it needs the full version of Kontakt.
They don't mention beer, just that it sounds like its been left out in the rain.

Spitfire Lab's "Bedlam Piano" is a slightly out of tune upright piano that may fit the bill.
It only costs £2($3 / €3 approx) donation to charity.
Just FYI, their Labs Range has some real gems. I definitely recommend grabbing a few that sound interesting to you. You may be surprised by how useful some of them are.

I'd get the free Reaper Reaplugs and roll your own out of any piano. Works incredibly slick and can dial in the intensity/range of the effect. http://www.reaper.fm/reaplugs/ Side chain the dry piano with ReaControlMidi upstream from the processed piano. Alternately, two clone channels of the same piano, one with ReaControlMidi upstream. Change values of the mod wheel to get the exact abount of detune. This is one of the most useful and unique utility vst's out there. Can be used to honkeytonk or fatten up anything, or just get a pitch shift with no sampling artifacts or latency. John

Yeah, there are some really nice ones in there, all for £2 each. But BigCat's stuff is even £2 less.

You guys are awesome! Thank you so much!
I forgot to mention I was also hoping to get cigarette burns and a slight nicotine smell along with the beer soaking, but I suppose one can't have everything. I found an actual piano that matched this description available for free a couple of weeks ago. Lack of space and a concern about vermin stopped me. These sound like much more sanitary alternatives!

I'd at least start here. Same maker that did the True Pianos. But this one is scaled down and free: http://www.yohng.com/software/piano.html

Rapture Pro has some excellent honky tonk piano sounds.

Tried to post links but it went nuts, google "honky tonk vst" and you will find two that might work from vs4free.

Also, ARTURIA has just released a V PIANO based upon physical modeling and there demo video has a great sounding honky tonk piano. I only just got this today and haven't had a chance to play around with it yet.

That's a great suggestion. There is a demo version so it can be tried with little risk. I must admit I have been preoccupied with the fantastic new Synclavier but the piano sounded pretty good and very varied but I don't think I tried the honky tonk yet.

I just fired up the Arturia V piano and the two Honkytonk presets "Honkybar" and "Honkytonky" are very good. Its also quite adaptable changing the room and microphone configurations can quickly change the sound. Then dig deeper to adjust reverb, eq, detune, hammer hardness and a range of other parameters.

Building your own can be a fun time. Start your multi with an upright put in some layers of Chromophone. Different delay on left and right channels. pump up some of the high mids and higher. harmonics. A little chorus. Play around with a bunch of reverbs. Sounds like fun.

The Lady Madonna and Obla Di Obla Da pianos in EastWest Fab Four would be a good start.

I forgot about Fab Four - but I dont have "Obla Di Obla Da" showing up on mine??? I have Composer Cloud. The Lady Madonna is very honky but not beer soaked like Arturia's Piano V's "Honkybar". There is also a Honky Tonk in the GM section of Goliath which is passable.
