Hope this helps. Cheers, Michael
Thanks for your opinion. I agree, but I assure you that the recording was made with no reverb at all, infact after conversion it sounded absolutely dry and lifeless.

Then, I 've chosen to put a small-room reverb (from a lexicon 960, don't remember the preset name) because these tunes contain lots of harmonic changes and sometimes these happen really fast, so I didn't want to mud it with long tail rev's.

And drying it more than this would have resulted in more cold and digital sounding piano...

Best wishes,
Pietro
