Yes, it's out of interest. Piano and keyed instruments have never been of primary interest to me - stringed ones are my background. However, I'm branching out.

I especially like the sound in that track. I bought Pianoteq this year, and I'm pleased, but not yet educated enough on the nuances of the available palette. I was hoping to short-circuit the exploration of every instrument a little.

For now I would stick with RuckersII and maybe(!) the Blanchet... For the piano octaves the steinway D, ha ?!! good night

Sorry, I'm so exhausted by work... hm... I just started ptq, put on the song and my first impulse before playing was RUCKERS II ... I think it could fit?! but maybe it's the redwine talking. I keep trying ...

what do you need it for, or is it just out of interest? I was reading a bit on wikipedia: interesting: the singer (chosen over madonna) and the connection to jeff buckley and his tragic death...

halleluja

I would change the title of the thread to "What harpsichord for "teardrop"?" ... or something like it. I thought at first you want a buyers guide or something. I didn't have the time to try which one it could be, yet.. greetings

I was watching a wonderful analysis of Massive Attack's "Teardrop". Many might recognize it from the opening theme of "House".

Looking for more experienced ears than mine - which harpsichord might sound closest to the one used in this track?
