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.

Well, the Pearl Upright it is.

Everybody happy now?


…didn't think so.

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.

Another upright piano sample I will never use.....

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
