THE piano samples that many pros are using right now is IVORY
<www.synthogy.com> -- Yamaha and Roland boxes are somewhat low end
for consumers...

Hi,

Currently, Ivory is only available for Mac and not the PC...

There are hundreds of competing sampled piano pacakages out now, each claiming 
to be the best. This is all fairly subjective...

You have the sampled Yamahas, Steinways, B\ufffdsendorfers, etc., and most all are 
recorded in many differing environments, and using many different types of 
recording equipment that add a bit of different 'colors' or very little extra 
'color'. Some recorded samples are better for creating jazz piano sounds 
(mellow), pop (a bit bright), classical (with a bit more of the environment 
sound, i.e., echoes / room reverb), etc.

I have 8 different paid-for piano samples here that I use for different types of 
music. And yes, I do have an over-all favorite set of piano samples that I still 
want to get someday. It never ends... =)
