Topic: relative volume levels
Today I was playing the Ruckers harpsichords and was impressed by the big sound.
Then I switched to (among others) the Grotrian Concert Royal and it did not sound bigger and did not have a higher volume than the harpsichord, without adjusting the output level.
This makes me think the volumes of the different Pianoteq instruments are not tuned in realistic relation to each other, but optimized/normalized per instrument.
I have no opinion if this choice is good or bad. I am just wondering if my observation is correct?
I don't own such real instruments, so I cannot compare in reality, but I think a modern grand piano has more volume (when played around mezzoforte) than a harpsichord? (Not to mention a clavichord or toy piano LOL ;-) )
