I don't have much to compare it too as this was my first piano sample for t=
he exs or 
any streaming based sampler, but if you cut the cutoff filter way, way down=
, the piano 
sounds very convincing.  This is the first time a sample has ever made me f=
eel I was 
playing a real instrument.  I actually look forward to playing classical pi=
eces again!  
For me it's in a differen't league than the Emu, Roland, Kurzweil, and othe=
r hardward 
based pianos I've played.

However, nothings perfect...
There's a bit too much resonance in the c4 to c5 register, imho, as if they=
 were trying 
to go overboard in the realism category.

I haven't been able to modify it into a smooth, dark, Bill Evans type of ja=
zz sound or a 
bluesy black crowes type of sound, but for everything else it is pretty awe=
some.  I 
especially like the soft piano (full quality with resonance) for slow balla=
ds.

If someone has a work around for the issues above or a suggestion for a 
complementary piano sample, please email me.

Anyway, I'm very happy with all three pieces in the wizoo package...what a =
deal.

Cheers,

Will
