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.

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.

Hey Jonathan,
What piano soundfont did you find the best? I'm looking for a really
good one here.
