Judging from the video, it is something out of Japan.
The red sun on the white sky is hard to ignore.

Whatever it is, it sounds nice.

I hope it is the Fazioli.

With the waving cat previously and the red circle on white it's obviously going to be based on one of the two top of the range Japanese titans - or inspired by them.

It does seem most likely to be the Shigeru Kawai, surprisingly.
I wouldn't mind something "heavily inspired by" though.

Official licences are good for sales almost certainly  - If it sounds really good I'm in!

Whatever it is, it sounds nice.

I'm afraid Modartt is reaching the limit number of plates they can spin together. They hane so many instruments that it get difficult to upgrade all to reach the quality of the latest most advanced instrument.

But this is not necessarilly a bad thing!!!!
This means they are fast in create and improve, always getting better and better.
But they will need to decide what instruments will be upgraded or at least how often some older instruments will be upgraded.

They are  a bunch of very skilled talented smartasses, but their hands are not so fast as their... @ss.

Háaa háaa háaa...

Perhaps even a K pack?
A bigger K model in a pack?

Another new piano teaser from Modartt

sound better than the first.

Attack is good.

280 was an improvement but still some trebles that sound like a vibraphone.

Sure This Shigeru will be even better than their Steinway's and 280VC.

And i love Shigeru Kawai : the Steinway Sound with the power of an Bosendorfer.

1) Here is Kawai Teaser on Instagram :

2)  I took snapshot of the piano board with dampers  from Modartt video and Kawai advert on the SK-EX
Here is the comparison

3)  I took snapshot of the picture from Modartt Teaser and From Kawai teaser.  Not hotly the shape are rigourisly identical , moreover the photo is taken from the same source,  same floor material, same lighting

Here the comparison

It certainly looks like the Kawai. I just upgraded to the new Kawai CA 701 so I have theSK-EX Competition Grand and some other Kawai pianos,  which are beautiful, and I'll skip this one. Maybe we'll get a Fazioli someday soon!

Hi Barbara,
I suggest holding the judgement until after it arrives, maybe you will still feel this way as you have plenty of modern piano sounds, but you may want to compare the playability of both versions first. Maybe both will be nice but in different ways, I expect Modartt's take on it will sound significantly different enough, and feel more alive to the touch.

Good points. I'm the kind of person who likes to have it all so I'll probably get it. Very small investment.

As an aside, I once listened to a pianist play in a side chapel in Lincoln cathedral (UK). As I listened it was as if the music was dancing above the grand piano, such were the harmonies. This too was an amazing experience.

Maybe others here who have had different experiences would be willing to share them? Just a thought.

Thank you to all the Modartt team, the Beta testers, the forum posters, and all the Pianoteq (and of course, Organteq) family/ies. It has been an incredible journey and I am so grateful to you all.

Warmest regards,

Chris

Yes Barbara,

You can always try the demo version before committing to purchase. Worth it just incase you like Pianoteq's Kawai too!

Warmest regards,

Chris

The frame doesn’t look to be one of the Shigeru-Kawai (not the same profile, at least according to SK website).
It’s not Fazioli F278/308, neither CFX version 2022.
Bösendorfer Imperial 290 ? Impossible, not the “broken” shape of the rim.

Is the "very soon" shorter than the "soon" ? I hope... Sunday ? Monday ?

Is Ultraman more powerful than Clayderman?
