White Grand and Rain Piano (both from http://www.sampletekk.com/ are both very nice.. WG for more pop/rock/jazz piano, RP for the sound of that almost-in-tune piano you might find in a pub!!). Also "The Emperor" from Post pianos http://www.postpiano.com/ has a lovely sound, but the gig files are corrupted and missing some notes at some velocities (at least on LS!).. I emailed post about this but have never received a satisfactory reply. That being said, Michiel seems a very nice guy and is generally quite helpful. LS will work with proper 32 bit samples now. It used to read 32 bit but play them back at 16 bit. The new license that Mark refers to is a modification of the GPL fobidding the use of the code in commercial hardware or software projects without the consent of the authors. This is what they say on the FAQ: >Can I use LinuxSampler for commercial music production? > >Hell, yes!
