Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I just received my copy of Ivory's Italian Grand II and I am very impressed with the sound and sensitivity of this instrument. I also own Ivory Grands and my favorite among those (Bosendorfer, Steinway, Yamaha) is the Steinway. My setup is Mac-based. I have a Mac Pro set up with a striped RAID array for video and Ivory pianos and I use an EMU 404 USB for the MIDI input. I use Bose headphones for playback.
The Italian Grand II blew me away. I will be spending many hours recording on this piano. The sound is magnificent. I have been waiting for 15 years for the technology to get this good. I am not sure if I will get better results from my 7ft 6inch Kawai grand but I will have fun comparing them. If you enjoy playing piano and you have a decent computer setup (external firewire 800 drive or eSATA or RAID array, 2GB RAM (or more) and dual processors) and MIDI keyboard, this product is a no-brainer. You're going to have fun - I guarantee it!
Rumor is that this is a Fazioli and I would not be surprised. I played a Fazioli once in a store and it is exquisite. This makes you want to take out all your music out and settle in for the day! Fantasic value!
