Topic: Comparison - 4 different Pianoteq models, no changes to sound at all

I was inspired by Krisp's comparison of sounds and also wanted to make a simple comparison with Pianoteq models that are not used that often. And, where I don't make any changes at all but the sounds are taken out of the box as they are. You can always change and add reverb etc…etc but here are the original presets.

And what I also wanted to do was to compare other older sounds (meaning Grotrian, Steingraeber, Bluethner) with the YC5. I personally think the YC5 sounds good here. And now I like Bluethner too.
I uploaded this piece 2019, here a short part from it.

All the best, everyone

Very interesting.

And much more scrupulous than my test to make the settings coincide. Well done!
