The Grotrian Concert Royal grand piano is a German-made masterpiece, stretching 277 cm (9'1") in length. In Pianoteq, this instrument is captured with full string modeling (all 241 strings), soundboard behavior, cabinet coupling, and miking. The tone is warm, clear, and balanced - ideally suited for classical repertoire, but equally expressive in jazz, film writing, and contemporary genres.
One standout feature is the felt-preset capability: via a "celeste pedal" in Pianoteq, you can insert felt between hammer and string to mute the tone, enabling soft, muted, or ambient textures. You can tweak felt thickness to dial in the exact softness you want. Mic positioning, voicing variations, and effects are built into the preset system so you can shift the piano's presentation from intimate to grandiose.
The Grotrian model breathes and responds dynamically. Soft passages sing with detail, and stronger playing fills the virtual hall without flabbiness. Resonances, inter-string coupling, and harmonic overtones are all calculated in real time, giving you an expressive, living instrument under your fingers.
In updates, Modartt has refined the soundboard model and voicing variations for this piano, bringing improved clarity in transitional dynamics and more depth in the mid and lower registers. The newer "felt presets" are richer and more musical than before.
This grand works beautifully across contexts - from classical recording to ambient textures or hybrid scoring work.
