"To be able to afford the best grand pianos, having a sizeable studio space, getting them tuned, mic'ing up and avoiding feedbacks on stage can be time consuming.

"The Grand 3 makes you feel like you're in the best acoustic sounding room with a variety of the best pianos. It gives you pure definition from raw to crisp polished sounds, and it's compact enough to travel with me to the studio and whenever I'm on the road.

"The Grand 3 makes you want to play. It speaks to your soul. It's the future of software pianos."

— Kwame Yeboah, producer and keyboardist
(Craig David, Jamiroquai, Miss Dynamite)

"Fantastically realistic and expressive, The Grand 3 has raised the bar in creating an instrument that truly inspires musical creativity."

— Erran Baron Cohen, music producer and film score composer
