Galaxy Pianos welcome 2010 with an all new engine, a completely redesigned user interface and, besides the well known Galaxy II Grand Piano Collection, a new grand piano legend: Galaxy Vintage D
Galaxy Instruments’ Vintage D virtual grand piano is based on samples of a vintage Steinway D, a true legend of its class. This Steinway D was built in 1920 in Hamburg in the German factory of Steinway & Sons. It is located at Bauer Studios in Germany, where some of the world’s greatest pianists have recorded legendary albums, among them:
Keith Jarrett, Chick Corea, Richie Beirach, Aziza Mustafa Zadeh, Abdullah Ibrahim, Monty Alexander, Wolfgang Dauner, Carla Bley, Gonzalo Rubalcaba, Aki Takase, and many others. Richie Beirach called it “the best piano in the world”. With the new Galaxy Vintage D this piano legend can be at your fingertips.
