German Baby Grand Piano from the Galaxy II Piano Collection

Galaxy II’s 1929 German Baby Grand is based on a Blüthner Model 150, built in 1929. This wonderful instrument blew us away, when we found it at a German piano maker. It’s a beautiful 75 year old grand piano, featuring a warm vintage sound with a wonderful intimate tone. Numerous great composers, conductors, and performers have owned Blüthner pianos, among them Bartok, Debussy or Tchaikovsky. Blüthners have also been used in pop music, including the Beatles’ album Let It Be, most notably in the hits ‘Let It Be’ and ‘The Long and Winding Road’.

The German Baby Grand is alternatively available with two other pianos (Steinway and Vienna Grand) as GALAXY II Grand Piano Collection!

The Blüthner piano company has manufactured Europe's finest pianos in their factory in Leipzig, Germany since 1853. By 1885, the company was the largest European piano manufacturer. Numerous royals, composers, conductors, artists and performers have owned Blüthner pianos. They include Brahms, Bartok, Debussy, Tchaikovsky and Wagner. Blüthners have also been used in popular music. One was used on The Beatles’ Let It Be album, most notably, in the hits ‘Let It Be’ and ‘The Long and Winding Road’. Galaxy II’s 1929 GERMAN BABY GRAND is based on a BLÜTHNER Model 150, built in 1929. This beautiful 75 year old grand piano features a warm , vintage sound wíth a wonderfully intimate tone.

Warmer fülliger Pianosound, weniger brillant aber dafür sehr charakteristisch, wie bereits hier erwähnt eher antik. In dieser Preisklasser für bestimmte Stilrichtungen auf jeden Fall empfehlenswert. Einzigstes Manko, ein paar Töne im unteren Bereich sind mir einzeln gespielt etwas zu "glockig", in komplexeren Arragements fällt es weniger auf.

I was looking for a good sounding virtual piano, as an alternative to the internal piano voices of my Casio PX-5S. I am more after that uprightish piano sound, instead of a pure Steinway, Bösendorfer or Yamaha C7 grand. The Blüthner is right between an upright, and a grand, which suits me fine. There are a lot of good presets to choose from. I like the warping engine, and that you can mix strings, and some other sounds with the piano voice. I recommend the Galaxy II German Baby Grand.

Product is great. It will take me a while to figure out how to use it because I'm just learning about soft synths.
