Gould's piano used on the Goldberg variations - Modeled for Pianoteq

AFAIK one was at Columbia Records and later captured by CineSamples as Piano In Blue. The same Steinway would have been used for Miles Davis’ Kind of Blue.

Since now he knows where it is, somebody at MODARTT maybe needs to get his hands on that piano right away.  He’s got apparently no trademark problem so long as he can simply temporarily call it something like Gould’s from Goldberg or Gould’s Goldberg piano modeled.

Sometime you have to seize the opportunity, however it’s presented!

If I were a huge or giant conglomerate such as Yamaha, I’d probably even feel enough compelled afterwards to permit MODARTT usage of my Yamaha brand name in any subsequent PIANOTEQ projects also, as I’d eventually have to recognize surely this small software company could merit it exclusively from its innovative and distinct musical instruments modeling, which happens to be outside my own extensive but broad range of various somewhat unrelated types of products I myself offer.

Right now PIANOTEQ is the most affordable alternative to the otherwise hard to get and expensive sound quality of the Yamaha Disklavier (that is) whenever recorded into the XP MIDI format native to Yamaha.  (No doubt now no other VST is more capable or better suited to this format than a copy of PIANOTEQ.)  It’s just an economically sound option to the struggling students everywhere wanting to get into the conservatories but can’t right now afford high costs of any Disklavier piano (added to the already high costs of some school tuitions).

Certainly, there is now no prohibitive language barrier to the French speaking  —within the Canadian location of that CFII piano!

Gee, just as it becomes affordable in students auditioning to receive acceptances into or from conservatories, it might as well also become heralded as a deterrent against any ever joining gangs, if you simply could call it O.G.G.G.

Ha, surely this indicates the CD318 is the better of the choices in any finding an accurate and well cherished representation of his, and even an American grand, that is, by all accounts a modern piano.  Which is missing, surely.  Although, I’ve been wanting personally to see something modeled in a size B dimension from Astoria, Queens.

Surely, then Chickering it is...

No other piano perhaps is as sweet a representation as this one of Gould’s youth and early development as it was spent peacefully in the rural home location, shown by the video, north and far out of the way of bustling U.S. cities. 

According to Wikipedia Frank Chickering had the Imperial Cross of the Legion of Honour, bestowed upon him by Emperor Napoleon III the first French president, for services to the art of music.

Man, let’s see a Yamaha, a Steinway, and a Chickering, could together be worthy of a possible future Gould collection?  That notably someday could include the two Americans and the one Japanese altogether just via modern MODARTT modeling.  Maybe the Gould name is important enough a big name to mean a lot by itself. 

It seems though Yamaha as a corporation might take some more swaying than others might. 

The reason I know is... 

An ex-girlfriend of mine —and possibly still Yamaha— sees herself as a Yamaha artist...
