Anyone have an opinion and/or experience on this product? It's not something I NEED, but boy, do I want it. It's pricey (MSRP $299, street price, $249, but can be had online for ($219), and only comes on a USB stick (due to the enormous size of the non-compressed samples), but I'm so tempted I've been drooling all day at the thought of simply playing this piano, not just recording with it. Although classically trained, my work is primarily contemporary jazz, and I'm thinking this virtual piano could actually persuade me to switch my go-to Piano VST. Listening to the demo samples on the Garritan (MakeMusic) website, I was blown away by the authenticity, nuance, and elegance of the sound of this piano. The size of the full install is 122 GB (!). Unlike most Yamaha's (I'm a former Steinway salesperson), the CFX Grand is hand-made. However, I keep reading great things about the new Garritan CFX Concert Grand, based on a Yamaha 9 foot premium concert grand. Once I got this piano, I abandoned all others in my software arsenal. I am a dedicated user of Pianoteq, up to version 5 now.
