Pianoteq over rules even Spectrasonics Keyscape

Congratulations on your humility and sincerity.
Its comparative analysis was very important for us Pianoteq users, since from it we can reinforce certain that we are enjoying the best that there is in the VST market.
Honestly, I no longer compare Pianoteq with other VST's
  and keyboards (the sampling base); I compare Pianoteq by listening to acoustic pianos of different makes and models. Even if it is an acoustic piano, if it is not new, or well tuned, tuned and with a proper microphone, I can guarantee that a good controller and a suitable computer, Pianoteq is much better.

Keyscape doesn't support continuous sustain pedal, doesn't have modelled sympathetic resonance...

As a sampling job, it is stellar, and I would use it for the more imaginative patches. Electric pianos have a lot of "meat" to them, for example. But for grand piano sounds, I would never use it.

If you say that at the Pianoworld forum, they will kill you

I agree.
I also have the Ravenscroft and the Vintage D. They sound good. The basic sound is good, but the richness in the resonances is not there.
I am disapointed with the pedal behaviour on the Ravenscroft. I can not shut down a sound by lifting up the pedal, even when the half pedal option is on. It is a problem for some classical pieces. Its playability though is good.
The Vintage D has a good sound but lacks of playability when you compare it to Pianoteq.

Finally I always come back to Pianoteq for its liveliness and responsiveness.

Keyscape is pretty expensive, but I've seen some amazing demos of their electric pianos. I will take your advice though, and abstain even if I hit the jackpot.

Lounge Lizard is my go-to for EPs. It is also modeled, and it is crazy good.

For all of the other instruments I like to play, Pianoteq has me covered. I just bought the harp which is very relaxing to diddle around on.

I have heard a lot of great things about Ravenscroft, they say it is the pianists piano as they actually got a lot of feedback from pianists to customize the sound. Apparently the strings are Titanium.... Or something like that.
I would love to get my hands on one to play.

I haven't herd of Lounge Lizard EPs so may check them out.

I reinstalled Keyscape the other evening too see whether I was just being biased but again the lack of digging in wasn't there and I just couldn't get the velocity curve right for the VPC-1. The sounds are great but I also have to feel what I am playing also to be truly inspired.

I am a little disappointed that Pianoteq have only modeled one upright though, would be nice to have at least one more to choose from as they are more intimate than grand pianos.

Yeah the Harp does sound nice I may have to purchase at a later date.

The reviews of Keyscape is not a surprise for me, the features and the demos have'nt impress me. And I bought the Ravenscroft because I like the three Vilabs pianos, Steinway, Fazioli, Bosendorfer but I don't know why this piano it look as a must have. It's a good piano but the sound does'nt inspire me.
And we have some challengers as the VSL Vienna, very good playing sensations and the  C7 of Production Grand, good sound with goods features but needed powerfull computer.
For recording each project need "the" piano and all vsti piano have "the" project for him. But for practice Pianoteq is often the best and always the good.

The Vienna only 47Go on hard disk now. lol But the 100 velocity layers are functionnal and the playbility is as Pianoteq (but Vilabs have good playability too )

I spend a lot of time listening to people play the Ravenscroft ( I like the bigger one ).. I is a great escape for all the noise around the rest of the NAMM show. Last year I came across a pianist playing various pianos in the "piano room". I was impressed and asked if she tried the Ravenscroft yet... she didn't so I brought her over and took the big one... told the owner of the company and his son and a few others at their both that they have to listen to her. Video cameras came out and she started playing...wow... she played various pieces and no one wanted her to stop, I know I didn't ... her name is Lesi Mei. She studios and competes on piano... she never said much about herself so we looked her up... gifted I say and we are friends on FaceBook now...nice.

Also the couple years before, Brockett Parsons ( Lady Gaga's piano/keyboardist ) was playing it a lot as well, he played some cool jazz stuff. He also had the 360 degree keyboard on display and that was fun to play.

Any way... a fine piano... many great reactions from people playing and listening to the over $300,000.00 USD piano... just sayin'.

I will check out Lesi Mei Lylo.

Shame I cannot get hold of a Ravenscroft in the UK anywhere....
