TruePianos discount for Cakewalk customers (of interest for those moving away from Sonar)

I don't have any stake in TruePianos or their sales, but I thought Sonar owners looking to move on to other DAW's might appreciate this.  This was mentioned in another thread, but I am providing additional clarity based on my experience.

The above link is not new... (30% off for Cakewalk customers), but what IS new is an additional 40% off sale on the full version of TruePianos for the remainder of 2017.   So... those discounts are stackable... 40% off public deal + 30% off for Cakewalk customers, you can get the full version of TruePianos for under $50 (US).  I believe the deal for non-US is also equally attractive.
For anyone who might miss TruePianos after moving away from Sonar, I think this is worth a look.
 
NOTE: The form that requests the cakewalk serial seems to only work on older serial numbers CWSP-x.xx...., I used one of my older serials from my cakewalk products page and it worked.  In a support email I sent to Truepianos tech support, it seems they are trying to expose another link that will work with newer serial numbers.  In any case, their FAQ says to contact their tech support to get the discount if your current Cakewalk serial number is not working with the discount page.
 
Editorial:
As I consider moving away from Sonar, I do believe I would miss the TruePianos module.   (Though I've heard in the "piano-modeling" area that Pianoteq is the one to beat, it's much more expensive and IMO TruePianos is no slouch.)  I asked TruePianos tech support if they would consider "giving away" the Amber license to Cakewalk customers, but it does not sound like their contractual or license management system would make that very feasible.  So... if you appreciate the TruePianos module you've had in Sonar, I think their current offer is a good deal to keep it in your new DAW adventures.

I believe the discount should work for any version of SONAR which included the TruePiano plug-in. Email them if you are having trouble getting the discount.

Personally I'm not about to hand out my serial number to anyone. 
 
And for that price you can wait until the Air expand pack goes on sale or even purchase the Air Mini Grand individually. After getting the Mini Grand I can no longer listen to True Pianos, I've swapped it out f every project now. 
 
And besides , if you have one of the older versions of Sonar, just do a bare bones install and there you go= You'll have true Piano free.

I guess you are comparing the Mini Grand to TruePianos Amber (the one bundled with SONAR). There are 6 pianos included in the full version.

bitflipper, yes I did purchase this and got it for under $50 (maybe I never actually said that in my original post).  In the last email exchange I had with TruePianos (asking if I should discuss this deal on the Sonar forum), it was replied to me, and I quote, "The discount is valid for owners of any CakeWalk VST host software." 
Since the above does not seem too particular about the Sonar version, I can only hope there were no misunderstandings lost in translation (the responder admitted he is not a native-English speaker).  All I can say is, if you meet the definition above and are interested in TruePianos at that price, contact them and see what they say.  If the price does not interest you, or if you are concerned about sharing your Cakewalk serials, I am not trying to convince you otherwise.  I just wanted to share what I thought was an interesting deal. 
 
EDIT:  I received another email from TruePianos (I think he is monitoring this thread now), and he clarified there was no misunderstanding.  He said they would honor a discount from any Cakewalk serial number product that hosts VST, for example he said, even "Cakewalk Home Studio 2004".  Regarding serial number concerns, he states that they need it to inject the serial into a Cakewalk installation DLL to determine validity and discount eligibility.  I think I've done my diligence by sharing this offer, so I don't plan to keep posting... but I wanted to pass on the accurate info as it was conveyed to me.  Again, if it interests you, contact them.  Truepianos has been very responsive to my inquiry.  Good luck.

48 dollars for 5 true pianos... to my ears they sound good

I also have full version, if I remember correctly I have payed more then $50, but not 2 times more.
 
"Old" is not always bad. TruePiano has old serial number authorization. And it works on any Windows (including Wine in Linux).
 
I like the sound. I rarely play Amber, but from other I do not have particular favorite.
 
I am a noob, but I tend to disagree about using it in a big mix. TruePiano is not so good in mono mode and has too many "side" sounds. Pianoteq "fits" into mix faster. But Pianoteq, like Roland DPs, is pure algorithmic and sounds artificial for me. Big sample based creatures tend to produce fancy sounding effects (samples mixed within an engine are not the same as sounds mixed withing a real instrument). So I prefer "hybrid" solutions, like TruePiano and Kawai DPs.

I found this offer a few days ago and used my X2 serial number, I think.  I went looking for the site and saw the upgrade page mentioned on google.  I didn't think it would still work, after all this time, but tried several serial numbers until it did.
 
It is well worth it - I use it a lot, and the other five pianos are really nice.  I have some big sample library pianos, but use this more as it is so light on the system and sits well in a mix.
