Anyone who wants is welcome to grab a soundfont I made some years ago. It's
based on samples from my Yamaha-P200 digital piano. You might balk at the
idea of samples from samples, but I think they sound pretty good, and the
price is right. I actually use this a lot and prefer it over some Steinway
fonts I've downloaded at Hammersound.
