I that case I'd just finagle access to a grand piano at calarts and sample it myself :-), which is just what I'm doing with some classical and rock guitar patches I'm developing, though csound can make guitar-like sounds, its easier to maipulate nylon string classical samples for what I'm working on. Anyways its all about going the extra mile, I'm really puny and slow compared to what some of my ex-classmates have done, Douglas has done some insane stuff with what I call his "emoto-bots", he had this cookie tin that would vibrate when you pet it right that was really cool way back in '97, and Ryan Francesoni built his own mac performance software. Me, I just learned to build terminatorX from cvs, and that sh*t took me 5 years to learn :-). But I'm working on csound to be able to produce my own custom patches for my asrx sampler and soundfonts as well. Also csound is great for doing algorithmic composition, my goal right now is to develop a good algorithm for some trippy stuff with csound under linux and then port it to a custom jsyn applet and release the source as well so people can enjoy my algorithm under windows and osx as well as linux.
