The piano has a special place among traditional musical instruments. It’s considered a standard tool for learning, writing and performing music. With such a widely-used instrument, there’s a general consensus on the ideal piano sound. But is that all there is to the piano? In fact, there’s much more to this classic sound than you might think. Thanks to innovative builders and DAW plugins, there are more creative approaches to the piano than ever before.

The Una Corda has a much softer sound than a traditional piano due to its use of just one string per key.

One of the most frequently recorded upright pianos is located in legendary Abbey Road Studios.

Sometimes the best way to push the boundaries is to go bigger. That’s the idea behind maverick piano builder David Klavins’ 370i vertical piano. With its strings extended to their full length in a single vertical span, the 370i boasts a soundboard roughly twice the size of standard concert grand. The result is an enormous and commanding piano sound unlike anything else out there. NI brings the sound of the 370i to your DAW with THE GIANT.
