Piano Noir is a virtual instrument sampled from a Guild & Sons square grand (or box grand) piano.  The instrument was sampled using a mid-side stereo microphone placement technique.  High quality condenser and PZM microphones were used to capture the instrument at a 48kh, 24 bit rate.  This Particular piano is a “piano forte”, constructed in 1879, leather and copper were used in the construction of the strings, giving the square grand a softer intonation than more modern pianos. One should keep in mind this is not a perfect virtual instrument, but more an authentic capturing of an aging and unique sound set.  In the piano’s multi-layer velocity scheme the higher velocity ranges include key slaps and creaking artifacts.
