Malmsjö Acoustic Grand

What People Say

...."Right now, I am in love with the Malmsjo Acoustic Grand, by Hans Adamson of Art Vista Productions.  That piano, to me, has really captured something that many of the other pianos lack--namely, a nice discernable spot on the soundstage.  I find it a little ironic that most sampled pianos are mic'ed as if they're being amplified on stage.  For realism, you really can't expect that an 'inside the lid' perspective is going to get you anywhere.  When you put it in context, it just won't sit in a mix...it either thins out or crowds out other elements.  However when Hans approached recording that piano, he succeeded in producing a piano that makes my clients' ears perk up.  Just yesterday, one of the editors on Shaping America called me up and raved about the piano sound on the last couple of episodes I'd sent.  That was all the Malmsjo.".....           - Bruce A. Richardson Senior Editor, ProRec

"This has been a wonderful addition to my collection. I have found this piano sits better than any other piano sample I own into an orchestral setting."---------  ----------------------------------------------------- Danny Lux

"Yesterday I received the MAG CD set and - if it's any indication - I couldn't stop playing it til 6:00 this morning. In my opinion this library really is fantastic........ I can really recommend this library."                 ---------------------------------                 - Jens Ernst, Munich, Germany

"I must say I am enjoying it immensely. The sound is dark, warm, rich.... everything my other pianos are not,....This is the sound I have been looking for for a nice intimate ballad, jazz solo or some classical pieces."                                       - David Lawrence, Cincinnati, Ohio

"I got the Malmsjö Grand today.  The sound is marvellous!  Marvellous!!" ------------------------------------------ Rüdiger Ortmann, Freiburg, Germany

"When I began playing it, I was totally blown away!  You've done an awesome job with this piano.... It was definitely worth the wait--".        ---------------                    - David S. Pogorelec, Chesapeake, Virginia

"I love it! This is certainly the best sampled piano that I have played to date."                                            - Stacey Hersh, Toronto, Canada

"The piano is amazing, very warm and natural. You forget you're playing a sample.  I stayed up past 3:00 AM playing it"                         B                                          - Bill Kuzeja, Waltham, Massachusetts

"Just to let you all know that the Malsjmo Grand by Hans Adamson ROCKS!!!!!!!!......., the first one I've heard in which I was COMPLETLY convinced that I was hearing the real thing. When I first heard the Demo 'Mean to me', I thought it was an old Bill Evans recording. What a natural sound. Breathtaking!"                                                         ----------------------------------- "Jazzman 1222", GigaSampler User Forum

"Hans has done a wonderful job of capturing a live, more three-dimensional view of this piano. It's an excellent alternative to what's already available. Very natural."                                                ------------------------------------------------- Tom Hopkins, Gig Harbor, Washington

"So far I am very happy with it and I think you did an outstanding job. It is really a beautiful piano and sample."  ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dan Fisher, West Olive, Michigan

"By the way, I've been enjoying playing your sampled piano; it's really got a great ambience to it."  ----------------- John Lynch, Austin, Texas
