Re: [linux-audio-user] nice piano

A mini-review for those also looking for decent piano soundfonts: So far with help from this list I've found the following usable, in order of preference: 1) WST25FStein_00Sep22.SF2 Free and quite natural-sounding to my ears, from http://www.pianosounds.com/freesoundfont.htm 2) TrachtmanSteinC_XFade2_2001Aug16.sf2 $5 US, by far the most "hi-fi" of the three, but a bit bright for my taste, also it's recorded a bit lower so you'll need to increase the output volume. from http://www.pianosounds.com/ 3) NS_Piano.sf2 Free, has pleasant tone, if a bit lacking in the bass and treble; also the stereo image is very narrow, almost mono. the creator describes it as "a natural, woody, mellow sounding piano", from http://www.naturalstudio.co.uk/ns_piano.html -- Paul Winkler http://www.slinkp.com
