I concur. Nord shouldn't be wracking their brains finding new pianos to samples; rather, they should resample the oldest ones, such as the Model D and the Yamaha C7.

The Yamaha C7 Studio Grand 2 is a wonderful sample as is, but would be absolutely incredible remastered and released in XL size.

An excellent showcase of the Studio Grand 2 C7. Simon is a wonderful player as well.

personally, i’d love to see some piano samples recorded in a completely dry room. i don’t want the sound of a mic’d piano in a room, i want the sound of just the piano with non of the acoustic properties of the space it is in.

It's actually quite a nice upright sound. Not as biting as the Amber, yet bolder than the Mellow Upright.

Nord seems to be the only manufacturer that gives respect to a quality upright piano. As far as I can see, the other manufacturers treat the upright as a novelty.

I'm not a fan for the smaller uprights, like the Baby or Bambino, but there's a good chance this one will fit well into my repertoire.

I just left for the holidays, so I’ll have to try the Pearl when I get back, but it sounds nice from the samples on the website. It’s not going to replace the Grand Upright as my go to upright sound, but I like the vintage sound. Will have to see how it compares to the Amber.

Glad to see that Nord revived their "tradition" (?) of providing a christmas gift, no matter how many may like it or not - you can never please everyone anyway.

Thanks Nord :thanks:
