What people are saying:
I have not learned a song on Piano for many years. I guess I've been more focused on learning programming, graphic design, and bar-tending.
A week ago, I had a rare desire to learn a new song on Piano. I immediately thought to re-download Woodland Piano. I have now played this instrument for about 15 hours.
It is absolutely incredible and provides many tones that collectively provide a beautifully complex sound.

I personally find this piano library simply wonderful.
Mix a bit of the felt sound in, set you mic levels and stereo width and throw in some reverb and you got yourself a truly good sounding piano you will enjoy!
It has become one of my favourite piano so far.
- Matteo Sacchetto
Maybe an actual masterpiece? I don't know how else to describe it. This thing is a genuine achievement.
Most 'soft pianos' tend to just sound muddy to me, but to absolutely nail the 'soft piano' character AND maintain clarity in spades — it's a marvel. It's a pleasure to play, and endlessly inspiring.
I don't know if anyone can top this.

I recorded the Woodland Piano with seven microphones (three stereo set-ups shown in the walkthrough video) up close and with multiple articulations – normal, felt, muted, and plucked + release triggers and pedal sounds.
Normal and Felt feature four velocity layers, and along with muted notes feature samples in pedal up and down.
These different mic positions and articulations are important not only because they add a good degree of flexibility within the same instrument, but also because they allow you to explore a wide array of different sounds that you can get from the piano.
