I think that 2.8 figure is an error. The file "Old Lady EXS16.sitx" is 778MB on
my disk. Assuming ~ 50-60 % compression that would expand to 1.6 -1.8 GB. I
doubt whether 2.8GB of files could be compressed by current methods  to 778MB
without loss. The Old Lady 24.sitx file is 2,126 MB and it expands by a similar
factor after installation.

If the instrument definition cannot find any of the audio files it epects it
will report that when you try to load the piano. If it loads without complaint,
the audio files are all there.

Murray
