Valentina is great. She can make even a old out tune piano sounds charismatic.

I wonder how she keeps such finger speed in the cold.

No need for any of you to make an FXP of this old clunker of a piano. Yes, it's Valentina and a public piano that just had it's Big Break (and looks like it never had good days). A deserved moment of glory after a hard life, I guess.

Time to move that condition slider way over towards the right and practice with that ? Hmmm... maybe not.

My dear Bruno, they already have a feature to improve the sound : loading a Midi file by someone else. I need to use it all the time.

So it's official : it's not the piano, it's the player (alas :-) ). Back to practice for me, I guess.

Virtual or not piano are all insufficient since they require work to pianists .. a scandal!
