Thank you for trying it. Yes, it's in mono. And I've just
noticed a bug in the soundfont today (loops again) :-(

The Steinway is also very nice, but samples in the Yamaha
are much more balanced, which greatly simplifies the life of
the soundfont maintainer ;-)

I would really appreciate if anyone with a real (non-electronic)
piano and good mics takes the time and effort sample each note, at
different velocities, at full length, at the maximum sample rate
and bit depth allowed by the recording hardware, and publishes
those samples under a free license. Pleeease... someone?
Guitars and other acoustic instruments would also be very
appreciated.
