As a musician I have to ask how could someone come to the idea that a sample based piano could substitute a real piano?

You can hear in the first two bars of a recording that it was a sampled piano even if it is IVORY etc....the dynamic is not the same it is not breathing.... I just use such a thing for adverts or for customers who have not a lot of money.

If a classical player would ask me for recording I would always advise him to book a studio with a nice Steinway or equivalent Grand Piano.

It is the same with guitars bases etc.... I hate working this way because it kills music.
