I know these will be useful for the kind of research and writing I do, but I'm also looking forward to the samples that the community creates. Thank you Modarrt for continuing to assist in historical instrument preservation (and sparing me trying to figure out how to emulate a square piano using existing instrument packs)! ;)

Frequently, I have made posts about the lack of American grand pianos —like Baldwins, NY Steinways, Etc.— being anywhere represented. Now I’ve come to the conclusion quite likely, that they have been seen only as outspoken complaints and even criticisms against MODARTT itself and its team outright.
If MODARTT or anyone at it has a sense of humor, I am nobody now laughing at it.
Modarrt has finally emulated a Steinway Square piano!
The so-called square piano is from a period in antebellum American history!

Regularly now I hear mentioned some new normal. However, I may become very interested to read: the writings of the man from Utah (where personally I lived and as a youngster there attended a school). (Which is now a university campus, a research one, having its own research library.)
