Sound Magic releases Mega Steinway Special Edition - 8 modeled Steinway pianos on flash dr

Sound Magic has released their next-generation Mega Steinway Special Edition, a collection of modeled virtual instruments based on eight pianos in the history of the Steinway piano company, well known for making high-quality pianos and also for inventions in piano development.
The included pianos are:
  • Steinway No. 483 - The first piano made and sold by Steinway & Sons in the US. Founder Heinrich Engelhard Steinweg (later known as Henry R. Steinway) had built the first 482 pianos in Germany before emigrating to the US — The piano is now displayed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
  • Anton Rubinstein's Steinway - Modeled on the piano played by revered Russian pianist, composer, and conductor Anton Rubinstein during his US tour during the 1872-73 season at the behest of Steinway & Sons, showcasing the 19th Century Steinway sound (which was already well on its way to becoming world famous by that time).
  • 1927 Vintage Steinway D - Modeled on a flagship concert grand piano built in 1927, representing the early 20th Century Steinway sound;
  • Horowitz Steinway - Modeled on the CD 443 — the grand piano much loved by Russian-born American classical pianist and composer Vladimir Horowitz, representing the late 20th Century Steinway sound;
  • Lang Lang's Modern Steinway - Modeled on the Steinway grand piano used in recent years by Chinese concert pianist Lang Lang, representing the latest Steinway sound in the early 21st Century;
  • Steinway B - Modeled on a piano, widely used as a practice piano by many young musicians;
  • Boston Home Upright - Modeled on Steinway's mid-level market budget brand;
  • Duke Ellington Edition Upright - Modeled on the upright piano once played by big-band jazz originator Duke Ellington.
Price: $399/€349/£240.

Sounds impressive... but I'll stick with my PianoTeq from Modartt, which - subjectively - sounds more mature to my ears.

This gets my vote for one of the worst websites ever. Looks cute and clever but with their prices it negates the investigative buyer.

Funny, I also have Pianoteq, and this sounded better to me. Go figure. I haven't been using Pianoteq as much as I used to, using OTS Rosewood Grand. But I would buy these if they were a little bit cheaper.
