Wow, Jesus and UFO's. This fred is going places.

If anyone doesn't like this fred, they can kiss my Fazioli. 

It's a great Fred...but where's Ethel?

They are old, but the Sampletekk Bosendorfers' sound big and inspiring to me. Of course if you want a BIG upright, check out The Giant from NI.
 
You can look at the Piano in 162 and the Estate Grand Limited as two freebies with a very good sound, imo.

I really like The Hammersmith from Soniccouture. Those guys make great sampled instruments.

A bit cold to me, that Hammersmith. But I do love ImpactSoundworks' Pearl concert grand.

I would like famous sidekick couples for $400 please Alex. The answer is: they were Ralph and Alice's best friends.

Gotta be BassGranddaddy to always end up with the Flintstones.

+ 1 for The Giant.  I also like NI's Alicia Keys edition.  Though I'm not a fan of Alicia's music personally, I respect her ability to manage those tricky ivory keys.  NI did well to approach her with this project.
 
 

I think the NI definitive Piano Collection are the same sample sets of the Classic Piano's from way back. It has a Bosendorfer, Yamaha C7, Steinway, and an Upright of some flavor. Somewhat uninspiring to my ears after all this time - but they aren't bad. I picked them up years back for about 100.00 on a closeout before they ported them to Kontakt.
