Topic: Another recording of CHas, this time on a wood-frame piano.

Kamin posted this recording of a piano and violin on the PW site, but is neglecting us, here. (Shameless.)  As he says there:

"The piano is a Scott forte dating 1833 - viennese action, leathered hammers, no iron frame of course."

http://www.box.net/shared/6f25atlga3

Distant mics, but a great piano sound. Hard to believe its a forte. I guess the leathered hammers and wood frame are part of what give so much wood to the recording. A = 432 here, given the wood frame.

EDIT: Try loading the PTeq forte pianos, loading up CHas. For Beethoven, yes, but also try each forte while playing the drjohn midi file and moving the mics, etc around. Hm...

(Using the Graf, you may want to move the strike point below middle to C to about 7.7 to 7.9. Enormous difference. Reducing the fifth partial in the tenor range may make it sound like a more recent piano, too.)

Re: Another recording of CHas, this time on a wood-frame piano.

Playing with the pro version sounds like it might be fun but I would have so little idea of what to adjust and why that I couldn't really justify the added expense.

I do appreciate the fact that at least we can still load fxp's from the pro version in standard though.
