Piano from my shool

I remember the sound of a piano from my music school. Gran Coda sounds the same. I have a huge sentiment. It's lightweight, natural. I often use Gran Coda.

Nice Piano Sound

A very nice and inspiring piano sound for a relatively small footprint.

A Great Grand Piano Library

Hephaestus Sounds always makes us nice surprises, whether are these its free titles or its affordable and great sounding commercial libraries. Gran Coda, based on a Steinway grand piano, is surely the best inexpensive piano library for Kontakt, judged upon its content, quality of the sound and playability. It has all necessary patches for a budget virtual piano library - a concert grand, a studio grand, a rock and a pop grand, an upright and a saloon piano and even a harpsichord. The sound is clear, convincing, a bit feeble in lower register, but sharp and dry and utilizable for any kind of professional musical production. Included controls are good. The bottom line would be a very realistically sounding grand/upright piano library, with high playability and for a fraction of the price other libraries of similar quality have. Bravo once again for Hephaestus.

Very versatile

A a dozen pianos, each using a variety of adjustments and effects. Good sounds all round, very versatile and workable in many recording situations. The adjustments and effects are a real bonus.

Gran Coda

The Gran Coda demo was one of my most used Kontakt pianos. The demo included just the concert piano which is fantastic by itself, but when I learned that I was able to get 12 different pianos of the same quality for only $10, I immediately jumped at the opportunity. This library is fantastic. I really don't need any other for a straight up piano sound in my songs. Would highly recommend this library.
