"The Silver Grand is a medium sized grand piano of Japanese descent with a fantastically brilliant and expressive tone! The Silver Grand is available in XL, Large, Medium and Small sizes."

Nice!!! I wonder what piano it is. Since it says Japanese and they already have some Yamahas, I bet its a Kawai. What do you guys think?

I will be trying it out this evening.

Gustavo,

As you mentioned! It really sounds like a Kawai Piano!

the file name says "Silver Grand SK7".
So I would guess with reasonable certainty that it's a Shigeru Kawai SK7.


Will try it out tonight, but it looks like a great addition to the piano library: after the Yammies, Steinways, Bosies and Faz, it was the one top-end grand missing!
If they've managed to convey the distinctive Kawai sound (and given Clavia's maniacal work with its pianos, I'm pretty sure they have), it will be a great, GREAT new entry in the Nord world!

Full quote!!

Welcome !!! In the middle range this piano remembers me to the old Kurzweil grand piano....

Wow. Can't wait to try it out. As an owner of an SK2 in particular I'm curious...

I wonder why the new Silver piano is version 5.3 and not 5.4 as the Upright Mellow ...

Heretic question: Is this Clavia's own sampling, or did they buy/license/modify it from somewhere - e.g. the new Kawai CA17/67/97 have SK7 samples as well... The text on Clavia's website does not mention their own sampling as it often did in the past.
