I use a few pianos via EXS: they¹re all very good (in their own individual
ways)

http://www.artvista.net/Malmsjo%20Acoustic%20Grand.html (my favourite)

http://www.artvista.net/Virtual_Grand_Piano.html (quite heavy use of RAM
tho¹: I have a dual 1.25 Mirror door G4 and sometimes it has difficulty)

http://www.synthogy.com/ (3 pianos in one: curiously I don¹t have as much
difficulty with these as the VGP)

Certainly Hans Adamson¹s pianos have a lovely quality to them: I think that
you¹ll be impressed. Listen to the demos (but, for me, the Malmsjö is the
best)
