Pianoforte 1900 released, Antique pianos collection

[Soundmagic]

Cutting-edge audio technologies developer The Best Computer Music And Acoustic Technology Inc is proud to announce availability of Pianoforte 1900 — its latest hybrid virtual instrument for Mac (AU 32-/64-bit, VST 32-/64-bit) and Windows (VST 32-/64-bit), featuring four priceless antique pianos combined into an amazingly affordably-priced package. Begin at December 21st 2018.

Pianoforte 1900 is a collection of four exquisite antique pianos, three of which are grand and one of which is upright. The pianos found in this majestic collection were all manufactured in the early 1900s. Toward the end of the 1880s, Steinway manufactured the first modern-day piano, featuring 88 keys.

This is truly a priceless and timeless collection, owing to not just the age of the pianos (110 years old), but their impeccable quality too. What’s more, these pianos sound drastically different from today’s pianos. These antique counterparts tend to have less overbearing bass and more or a crisp sound with uneven dynamics at certain intervals. Each piano found in this collection also, of course, features a set of distinct characteristics that make each undeniable one-of-a-kind.

This looks very interesting for indie pop music or even hip-hop, in addition to more obvious uses like scoring films set back in the day. Anyone tried it yet?

Have been keeping an eye on this developer for a while. Big improvement in the GUI from their previous pianos. I had read about playability issues with some of their earlier releases, but I would be curious to try these new models. Not too keen on risking $149 USD to find out though, and frustratingly there is a lack of reviews on any of their pianos.

Yup, does look like an improvement, the modeling stuff looks interesting, plus these pianos cover an interesting niche, and have a dirtier sound than the historical stuff in Pianoteq.
