Description: The Orchestral Grands are two Steinway D and B grand pianos specially designed for orchestral use.
The Orchestral Grands brings you two masterpiece Grand Pianos, the Steinway D and the Steinway B. Both are positioned for orchestral use and have been recorded at one of the best sounding scoring stages, the Teldex Scoring Stage in Berlin. These wonderful pianos are ready to bring wonderful additional colors to your symphonic compositions.
Steinway B
Usage and Characteristics
The Steinway B with its brilliant sound cuts right through anything. Use it if you need a
piano with a lot of presence that is easily heard.
The instrument has all the features discussed above.
Steinway D
Usage and Characteristics
A true gem, the Steinway D lives and breathes nobility. With a very smooth sound when
playing piano and a well rounded forte, use this grand piano for places where either a
soloistic sound is needed, or a classical sound blending well with the orchestra.
This piano features 4 round robins for all sustains.
Staccato
The Steinway D features special Staccato samples with six round robins. To use these
samples, move the modwheel (CC1) up. Move it down again to play sustain.
The staccato mode is great for percussive passages cutting right through a dense
orchestration.
