This Steinway C piano was hand picked by Elmer Bernstein (while composing the score for ‘My Left Foot’) from the Steinway factory in Hamburg. Word spread across the industry and it soon made a name for itself as an exceptional sounding piano. Nowadays, many artists will record at Windmill Lane specifically to use this piano.
Artists who have performed on this piano include Elvis Costello, David Bowie, Van Morrison, R.E.M, Ben Folds, The Rolling Stones and Lady Gaga.

String Resonance Tracking
A special custom script tracks the resonance of each string and will adjust sounding notes appropriately, improving realism and optimizing CPU usage.
Pedal Resonance
Sampled pedal down resonance can be adjusted to your liking; we also support repedalling, sympathetic resonance repedalling and continuous repedalling (repedalling of another repedal).
True Releases
Sampled releases have been carefully sampled and can be adjusted and disabled based on personal preference.
Sympathetic Resonance
Sympathetic resonance occurs when you hold down a note and play another note that shares a harmonic or fundamental. This is supported up to 16 notes in the harmonic series (both up and down).
