For me, after calibration, the Blüthner Model One dynamic range changes significantly across the keyboard. I have to be careful not to play the bass keys too hard as they are very powerful. I guess that when i get my VCP-1 this will improve.

According to the Pianoteq manual, "Measurements made on acoustic pianos show a dynamic range of
approximately 50 dB."

I've always thought so, and only now noticed it was without explicit justification. Implicitly though, the diff between D4 Classical BA and Bluthner Model One BA presets (45 v 42) seems to indicate it.

I don’t know what the dynamic range of an acoustic grand piano is, but should that not be the reference?

Usually I reduce it to around 30-35 dB for my style of playing.

I have been experimenting with the dynamics a bit. But right now I am using the default (typically 42).

I look forward to hearing input from others. There are many different parameters I would love to have similar threads (tuning, etc) for discussion.

What dynamic range setting are you using and why?
