Most Realistic Piano Sample(s)
Which VST plugin do you think offers the nicest, most realistic piano sound? The price of it is not an issue.

You can look at Pianoteq:

Pianoteq – True modelling of pianos and other keyboard or string instruments

The other 2 options which are just out (don't know if there are even demos for the autharised Steinway) is
EWQL Pianos
and
Garritan Steinway

both are HUGE in size and offer some great ideas inside.

I still use pianoteq btw, and I love it!

Oh Garritan Steinway, Days ago I was checking their page for a College project of site maps of websites. I was looking for demos of it but I didn't see any demo of Garritan Steinway piano, or maybe I never found them..

4Front Truepianos. It's the one I use. Small in size. I think it uses the similar technology as Pianoteq.

I'm a fan of ArtVista's pianos, personally.

Not like I could afford it, or are even going to bother looking into it myself, but who does Bösendorfer samples?

IMO the only good thing about them is the nifty stereo widening and pedal sounds.

That said, those are pretty useful.
