for the second part, consider paying the guys who produce PianoTeq.
there are other options (such as LinuxSampler with a decent piano
sample library) but PianoTeq is just cool and they released a version
for Linux at the same time as their Windows and OS X release. worth
rewarding IMO. the program gives you *insane* control over the piano
sound - its physical modelling, not sample playback.
