The famed sound of the Vienna-made Bösendorfer full concert grand
piano. Its spacious sound evokes the size of the instrument, and is ideal
for expressing tenderness in compositions.

other instruments in an ensemble.

Stage E.Piano
The sound of an electric piano using hammer-struck metallic “tines.”
Soft tone when played lightly, and an aggressive tone when played
hard.
E1
DX E.Piano
An electronic piano sound created by FM synthesis. Good for standard
popular music.

Harpsichord
The definitive instrument for baroque music. Since harpsichord uses
plucked strings, there is no touch response. There is, however, a
characteristic additional sound when the keys are released.
