The foundation of Concert Grand YF3 is a robot-assisted deep multisampling of a 9' Yamaha CFIII concert grand piano that has been painstakingly maintained. Grand YF3 provides the volume of sound and depth of tone color required to fill any musical endeavor or performance venue. It is incredibly sensitive and responds to the slightest touch.

Using DPA microphones for the close miking and Schoeps mics for medium-distanced coincident pair, this spectacular piano was recorded at the legendary Fonoprint Studios in Bologna, Italy, within the walls of a 15th century convent. In addition to the many IK sample sessions over the years, Fonoprint has hosted the very best Italian and international artists from Ennio Morricone to Luciano Pavarotti to Andrea Bocelli.
