89% off “WG2 MkII – Studio Grand Piano” by Sampletekk

A Nuanced, Naturally Warm Grand Piano Built With Over 2900 Samples

When Sampletekk recorded the White Grand and the White Sister their goal was not to create ”The Ultimate Grand Piano”.

Since a Grand Piano can be used in so many ways, from playing Mozart to hammering out Jerry Lee or Little Richard stuff and everything in between, they realized that there isn’t anything that could be considered “The Ultimate Grand Piano” in the world of multisampled instruments.

Sampletekk wanted to make the ”Ultimate Studio Grand Piano” that would work in a recording session for more contemporary styles of music. It would simply sit well in a mix!

They were lucky enough to find this fantastic instrument, an old, LARGE, Malmsjö Grand piano from around 1910, that had the clarity needed to work in a modern production, but also, at the same time, had the richness and well contoured bass side that would provide the power needed on the lower part of the keyboard without getting muddy.

Sampletekk recorded two versions using different microphone combinations. One close and one a bit more ambient. The first resulted in the White Grand, and the second in the White Sister.
