Thank you Paul,

So from what you are saying I can be assured that the Chopin Etude Opus 10 No 4 demo is not one that has had extra post rendering EQ work done. 

If this is what I can expect from using this particular preset (with slight tweaking) then I am certainly impressed!

Quick question re standard vs full.. do they both have the same amount of velocity layers? If so - how many?

Thank you again!

Hi All VSL users,

I am on the verge of buying the D-274 Steinway but just need a little more reassurance. 

I have listened to the demos' and have found one (that is to my ears) the perfect sound for what I want.

On the page https://www.vsl.co.at/en/Synchron_Pianos_Bundle/Concert_D#!Demos I particularly like the Chopin Etude Op 10 no 4 recording.  Is anyone on the forum able to produce a similar sound? 

If so I will buy the software it tomorrow! Is this quality of sound a result of the software only or is there much EQ work done to achieve it? 

I just wanted to make sure.. as I have bought to many pianos that promise so much but just don't deliver without a huge amount of post production sound engineering. 

Thanks!
