if you are aiming for synthesised i can give you pointers to physical
synthesis work on pianos. There has been tons of it. Commuted
waveguide synthesis being the popular form. There is about 10000 times
more research on pianos than everything else together. However given
the overall attention to quality and playability by the research
community i'd suggested persuing a gigasampler one, or something along
those lines. linuxsampler is then the tool of choice.
