Luthéal Piano - Edition MIM
"The lutheal and the whole orchestra sounded great last night."
Jeffrey Sharkey, Director, Peabody Institute of the John Hopkins University
"Having the Lutheal samples allowed us to restore Ravel's original sound concept. These samples allow the 'nail' stops to speak in full orchestra passages (intro to 'Fire') where a papered piano (Ravel's alternative) would be inaudible. The harmonic stops allow for the proper instrumental color for 'Mathematics' and more importantly, the 'Dragonfly' waltz, where their ethereal, other-worldly color fits the dramatic situation perfectly."
Teri Murai, Conductor at the Peabody Institute of the John Hopkins University
"Everything worked great, our conductor and the Director of the Institute both complimented me on how great the lutheal sounded."
McGregor Boyle, Computer Music Department, Peabody Institute of the John Hopkins University
Edition Beurmann
"I have been extremely pleased with all of your samples. The breadth and thoroughness of your work as well as your superb microphone and equipment choices allow me to hear how the museum instruments sound at this point in time and also allow me to cul out the sounds that I feel best represent the vision of the craftsmen that built them."
James Bonn, Steinway Artist
"Thanks for putting out such a delectable product line."
James Sigrist
Grand Piano - Edition Beurmann
"I'm already in love with your Grand Piano which sounds truly marvelous"
Laurent Brancowitz, Phoenix
"Overall, the quality is top class. I like the age old personality of the Grand Piano & Italian Harpsichord. I do
very much like the idea that your sampling age old instruments. Its like capturing time, likening it to the ageing phenomenon such as wine."
Marc Umbay
"This is the ONLY virtual piano that I find satisfactory and really appealling... I have listened to ALL the others by all the other manufacturers and can honestly say that none of them are remotely acceptable in terms of the overall sound aesthetic required to put forward artistic renditions of the standard Classical/Romantic piano repetoire. Your 1837 virtual Erard will fill a 12 month void (when my pianos will be in storage) very nicely."
Christopher Lincoln
English Spinet - Edition Beurmann
"Ihre Samples haben mich schlichtweg umgehauen und nehmen allen anderen, die ich vorher benutzt hatte jegliche Daseinsberechtigung! Die Samples klingen dermaßen dynamisch, daß ich mit meiner Druckpunkt-Klaviatur wirklich das Gefühl habe, dass die (nicht vorhandenen) Saiten mit Kielen angerissen werden. Das Hitchcock-Spinett klingt schön warm, voll und dunkel, das italienische Cembalo (Italian Harpsichord II) dagegen schön trocken, grundtönig und mit kurzem Sustain, also genau richtig für 'Alte Musik' (z.B. Virginalbücher)."
Michael Müller
Pianoforte - Edition Beurmann
"Gratulation nochmals zu einem wirklich gelungenen Produkt, das auch nach Klavier klingt! Die
Ästhetik erinnert ein Bisschen an Gonzales mit dem Album Solo Piano."
Diego Baldenweg, Great Garbo Music
Early Pianoforte - Edition Beurmann
"I have installed the Stein fortepiano samples and I like them very much. Mozart wrote that he preferred Stein's pianos to those made by Anton Walter, partly because the damping was so good. When he stopped playing, the piano stopped sounding, which he liked. Your release samples (if you haven't modified them) show exactly what he meant. Thank you, again, for supplying these interesting samples."
Martin Cook
Dulcitone Celesta - Edition Beurmann
"Just loaded the Dulcitone piano, and am playing around with the sounds. Have to say, it's great - everything I'd hoped for, full of character and 'real life'. I'm currently working on a 6 part series for the BBC, concerning Stalin and the Cold War and I already know of several places where the Dulcitone is going to make certain cues absolutely come to life. Great stuff!"
Alasdair Reid, composer
"These Dulcitone sounds are so sweet. Thanks for providing all the separate presets. Can't wait to get started using them in my music. Keep up the great work!"
Christopher Bowen
"Ganz ehrlich: Ich finde sie einfach wunderbar. Das ist der Stoff, wie ich ihn liebe, ungleichmäßig und unberechenbar wie das echte Leben. Und das Schärfste sind die Nebengeräusche pur!!! Mit denen zusammen erwachen sogar die null-acht-fünfzehn Highendpianosamples der großen Libraries fast zum Leben,
es geschehen noch Zeichen und Wunder."
Lars Kurz, Tonstudio1 (www.tonstudio1.com)
"Oh my almighty sampling God. That Dulcitone sure sounds fantastic! Thanks!"
Flemming Nordkrog, film composer (www.nordkrog.com)
"The Celesta is FANTASTIC, really astounding. Thanks for all your hard work on this, and congratulations! It feels like a real secret weapon :-)"
Scott Gibbons (www.red-noise.com)
"Vielen Dank für die Dulcitone Samples. Sind echt schön und wunderbar einsetzbar."
Rainer Oleak, Komponist (www.oleak.de)
"I'm really enjoying the Celesta! Great sound and detail."
Matt Soong
English Harpsichord - Edition Beurmann
"The harpsichord samples are amazing - a great sounding instrument recorded beautifully. It brought an openness to the songs that I wasn't able to get with any other instruments, really added another dimension."
Daniel Carlson (MySpace Site)
"The samples arrived yesterday and I got to test them out a little last night - they are fantastic - you did an excellent job with them. :)"
Christopher Gwinn
"I must say the English Harpsichord is the BEST sampled instrument I have ever heard. It is amazing what modern sampling technology can do."
Ray Brown
Dutch Harpsichord - Edition Beurmann:
"Your Dutch harpsichord library I bought has been amazing."
Sheridan Haskell
"I'd like to thank you for providing the Dutch Harpsichord, I love its sound, it's sweet and very rich. Often the high frequencies in harpsichords can be a bit aggresive, but with this instrument and your sampling job, the
atmosphere is really enjoyable."
Sebastien Soudan
"I just wanted to write a brief thank you for your helpful emails. To experience this instrument in its transmigrated form has been truly miraculous! Not only in the sensuous delight of its pure-unaffected tone, but the rich imagery it conveys in the space that surrounds it. To think, from my industrial city where remains my tiny living quarters, I sit with closed-eyes, playing in a palace antechamber; mythological frescoes and marble ornaments abound - an entire world in musical history which only permitted the privileged few, until now.
Thank you for making this discovery possible."
Xavier-Autumn Christian
Harpsichord
"Bin mit dem Klang sehr zufrieden. Überhaupt machen Sie eine Arbeit, die den digitalen Sound schon jetzt verändert hat und auch weiterhin verändern wird. (...) Man hat das Gefühl, an einem echten Cembalo zu sitzen."
Lars Grote, Musicology Student
"I ordered the harpsichord last time, I'm having an awesome time with it."
Marc Umbay

"The Rhodes's great. I can't believe I have actually praised the EVP88.... oh my...".
Flemming Nordkrog, film composer (www.nordkrog.com)
Concert Guitar Collection
"Diese hervorragend gesampelte, durch 32 Layer traumhaft dynamisch, und expressiv spielbare Classic-Gitarre wird in meiner (nicht kleinen) Samplinglibrary definitiv zu den absoluten Favoriten gehören!"
Beat Stierli
Overdriven Guitar Collection
"Ich habe gestern noch die Samples unter Kontakt 3 getestet und bin mit der Qualität sehr zufrieden. Der Grundsound ist sehr schön und lässt sich dank der gleichmässigen Pegel - falls notwendig - auch prima nachbearbeiten ohne zuzuschmieren. Sehr saubere Arbeit! Vielen Dank!"
Herbert Binder
