The Kremsegg Collection 1 is a historically rich set of four 18th/19th-century instruments from the Kremsegg Castle museum, now captured by Pianoteq's physical modeling engine. Included are the Joseph Dohnal pianoforte (1795), Ignaz Besendorfer grand (1829), Sébastien Érard grand (1849), and Johann Baptist Streicher grand (1852). Each instrument is rendered in extraordinary detail: hammer mechanics, wooden framing, string response, and tone color are all modeled in real time.
You can manipulate voicing, mic placement, temperament, and mechanical parameters, bringing history into your modern workflow. The temperaments (Werckmeister III, Neidhardt III, Bach-Kellner, etc.) are built-in presets, and High editions allow even more tuning customizations. The models handle expressive nuance, decay, resonance coupling, and register balance dynamically.
Recent improvements have polished how register transitions feel, improved voicing across octave extremes, and refined resonance behavior to reduce tonal artifacts or unnatural ringing. The result is more organic realism when moving from soft to loud or across big chordal textures.
This collection is ideal for classical and Romantic repertoire, early music, or projects seeking authentic instruments with modern flexibility.
