Description : Gran Coda is a sample library for Native Instruments Kontakt, which offers you a stunning, detailed sound of a real concert piano. Sampled from a true Steinway & Sons concert piano right after fine tuning. The sound is extremely clear, dynamic and realistic thanks to the sampling of all the details of the sound with very highly sensitive microphones.
Gran Coda offers realistic piano interfaces to inspire you during your work.
