This definitely falls into the category of "hidden gems". In this video I am talking about my 1887 Steinway D, recently sampled by the Vienna Symphonic Library and available as VST. You will understand why this instrument is so unique, what makes it special and what the difference between this 1887 D and a modern D is.
