Which pianos were sampled for the Nord piano library?

Fair point. I really forgot to add that. The original list has been updated multiple times as you may have seen.

May I ask you to delete the above quote of the list? It's outdated now and will be more and more, I hope.

Found the following comment from the video linked below and thought it would be useful for your list:
"Sampletekk is one of THE most underrated piano library producers EVER. Some might know that Nord uses several Sampletekk libraries in their Piano Library-- Rain Piano (Rain Upright MKII), Concert Grand (Black Grand MKII), Studio Grand 1 (TBO MKII), Studio Grand 2 (7CG MKII), and, while not available from Sampletekk's site anymore... they did "The Old Lady MKII" (which is Nord's Grand Lady D), and "Emperor MKII" (which is Nord's Grand Imperial). Phenomenal libraries and worth every penny. Plus, they have sales a lot! Totally worth it. Btw, THANK YOU for showcasing these amazing pianos with your immense talent. More people need to know about Sampletekk."

Interesting !!

And if you also visit this link: https://www.sampletekk.com/about_us it seems very logical why they have chosen SampleTekk

It might be possible that they also used some Rhodes from SampleTekk too... I might be wrong.

I would personally like to see Nord integrate PianoTeq instead. The physical modelling is, in my and many others' opinion, superior now to samples.

I'm convinced that the Bambino is a Baldwin Acrosonic, although what year I couldn't begin to guess. Sonically, it's a dead match for my mom-in-law's, from the mid-1940s.

I grew up playing one of these, which was bought for my mother as a child in the 30's. It was a lovely little awful piano. So much that was great and so much that was terrible. I guess I'd have to say that it was hard to make a spinet sound much better, and upright actions of that era were what they were (super light, making dynamic control difficult.) Regardless, I'm grateful I had it to play and learn on! And I think you're right that it's an Acrosonic.

The Bambino really helped when I had to prepare for playing a spinet at a venue. It's so different that it throws me off sometimes!

Play it on a semi-weighted action, and you're really not far off!

Good idea!

Would you please not quote that old version of the list over and over. I'd even love if you could delete it. Only the original version is updated regularly.
