Anyone who wants is welcome to grab a soundfont I made some years ago. It's
based on samples from my Yamaha-P200 digital piano. You might balk at the
idea of samples from samples, but I think they sound pretty good, and the
price is right. I actually use this a lot and prefer it over some Steinway
fonts I've downloaded at Hammersound.

LinuxSampler. Right now I am using the one they provide on their web
site, and it's pretty good, but when I get the $ I'm going to try to
find a Bosendorfer .gig I read about a while back. I have always wanted
to play a Bosendorfer since I heard of them, and the .gig I heard of was
$40, I was told it is excellent.

Hey Jonathan,
What piano soundfont did you find the best? I'm looking for a really
good one here.
For years I used a Steinway soundfont that was $5 on the internets. Worked
well, sounded well.
Lately I use the Old Lady Gigasample in LinuxSampler for recording
purposes.
Live I use a very simple piano soundfont lifted from a PC52 or some such
General Midi soundfont, because it is lightweight and doesn't use up too
much CPU on my EEE, and also because it cuts through the mix with almost
headache-inducing force.
