Subtle refinements of the physical modelling were made, resulting in a noticeably clear tone and astounding dynamics. The virtual grand piano Model B for Pianoteq was carefully designed to reproduce the finest sound characteristics of the Steinway B instrument that was selected by Modartt for this project. Very easy to play, it is perfect for achieving a wide range of timbres, from a nuanced, delicate pianissimo to the thunder of a crescendo. The virtual grand piano Model B for Pianoteq was carefully designed to reproduce the finest sound characteristics of the Steinway B instrument that was selected by Modartt for this project. It has much of the concert grand piano sound of a Steinway D, although it is smaller, and thus better suited for recording studios and mid-sized recital venues. It is generally known as “The Perfect Piano”. The Steinway B is now the best selling Steinway grand piano. The first Steinway B grand pianos were manufactured in 1878. This kind of thing is becoming ever important in the virtual piano world, and actually it is quite a coup to have the blessing of arguably the most iconic piano manufacturer out there. But if you have the Steinway D, it comes with 2 respective pianos.
PIANOTEQ 5 STEINWAY B PRO
If you have the pro version, you can choose 4 instrument packs so that I chose Steinway D, Steinway B, Ant Petrof, and Bechstein.

The piano that is modelled belongs to the Martha Argerich edition, a set of twenty-five Steinway & Sons Model B-211 pianos that the prestigious pianist carefully selected in 2014 for their musicality. This is the first version to be authorised by Steinway & Sons: specifically, the Model D and Model B instruments that already existed in Pianoteq 5. I was provided with the Pianoteq 7 Pro version from Muto Store, one of the music gear sellers in South Korea.

Subtle refinements of the physical model contribute to a faithful rendering of the original instrument. This instrument is modelled after a Steinway B Grand Piano from Hamburg, known for its splendid and versatile character. Modartt has announced the release of the Model B Grand Piano for its Pianoteq virtual instrument for Windows and Mac.
