Galaxy Instruments has released Galaxy Vintage D, a virtual grand piano that is based on samples of Bauer Studios' famous 1920 Steinway D, which has served for legendary recordings. This exceptional Steinway concert grand was built in 1920 in Hamburg in the German factory of Steinway & Sons. Over the last 90 years it has achieved a deep and intimate character and a beautiful singing tone.

Some of the best pianists have recorded legendary albums on this instrument, among them Keith Jarrett, Chick Corea, Carla Bley, Guillermo and Gonzalo Rubalcaba, Abdullah Ibrahim, Wolfgang Dauner, John Taylor and many others. Richie Beirach called it 'the best piano in the world'.

Galaxy Instruments has now released this legendary piano as a virtual instrument.

Galaxy Vintage D is the first product of the Galaxypianos product line, equipped with the new Kontakt 4 engine offering more features, better performance, lossless sample compression and an all new user interface, designed specially for Galaxy Pianos.
