A piano sound sampled from a Yamaha Full Concert Grand Piano "CFIIIS" with AWM Dynamic Stereo Sampling

The piano sound is sampled from the Yamaha Full Concert Grand Piano "CFIIIS", which has won high praise at the world's most famous concert halls and music competitions. The best piano was selected, and an experienced technician prepared it to the highest standards. Sampling is carefully performed over a long duration, from the start of the sound until fadeout, to reproduce a natural sound and attenuation that feels much like an acoustic piano.
