Overview

One Fazioli, one great room.

Grand Rhapsody is a sampled Fazioli F228, recorded at Metropolis Studios in London through eight pairs of microphones, so the instrument can be heard from close to distant without swapping pianos. It is the same piano Adele used on Hello. Sympathetic string resonance is modelled when the sustain pedal is down, which is much of what makes an acoustic piano sound like a room rather than a sample set. The velocity curve is adjustable and it is NKS-ready.
