At the heart of the Authorized Steinway Virtual Concert Grand Piano sample library is the distinctive sound of the renowned Steinway Model D. The Steinway concert grand piano chosen for this sample set is among Steinway's finest Model D's – newly voiced, regulated, and tuned by a master Steinway technician.

The Professional version offers the most features of the Authorized Steinway Virtual Piano series. It offers five different listening perspectives, including a player perspective from the bench, a classical recording perspective, an under-the-lid perspective, a stage perspective and a close audience perspective.
