Maestro Concert Grand v2 is a big gig bank using 792 stereo samples of a concert piano, a Yamaha CF3 from the early 90s, It was chromatically sampled to maintain the tempered tuning. The samples were recorded with two Neumann KM84 microphones, disposed in X/Y, with 5 velocity layers, and weighs 932 MB ! The piano alone, without release samples, weighs 887 Mb and 440 samples. The release samples are 352 and weigh 45 MB. You can play with or without them.
Hammersound Description:
This Sf2 Has been sampled and editedrom scratch. It named BETA because it has not been tested by anyone else but me. The samples are all 'real' from a K. KAWAI grand. I would like any feedback because I will be sampling another using 2 mic's and a stereo mixer etc.

This is the FLAC version. Link to the ...
