It is to much distracting for me... the noise of the computer and all
the temptations you have with it (endless checking email,
non-fruitful discussion on the internet forums etc. )
...but I'm happy to be able to use the (linux) computer if I want!
When you are an instrumentalist, Linux is what you need!
Thanks guys!
As always, there are probably dozens of answers
to such a question.
From my experience: Yamaha have the best standard piano sounds I
came across. Take a look at there motif or mo modules. Careful: There
are keybaord versions and rack versions.
Roland's XV series is very handsome. I played them a couple of times
and was never disappointed.
From my experience Korg lacks te piano quality of the former two.
Besides that, there might be componies specialising in piano sounds.
With a Yamaha or Roland you would of course get much more than piano.
Regarding Yamaha though: They have a good e-piano series called CP,
perhaps they also have simple sound-modules without keyboards attahced
in that series. Thiswould acutally suite your needs pretty accurately,
because they just offer grandpiano, harpsichord, Wurlitzer, Rhodes,
2-3 organs (hammond and church), strings, choir, guitar and bass.
HTH.
Kindest regards

I think I'll go for the Kurzweil Micro piano or ensemble.
Anyone here in the 'neighborhood' of The Netherlands who wants to sell
his Kurzweil micro piano?
