I did not like piano too much with my Silver.
But I do like piano a lot with my Gold.

LGlwreetings Everyone!
This is my first post and perhaps my third visit to this site which so far looks engaging. We have yet to receive our new phantoms so I am not yet able to speak authoritatively, but this threat interests me for two key reasons. First, I had decided years ago that is was better to invest in a player piano rather than invest in audio equipment if I wanted to capture the live performance in my home so given a choice between a 20k dollar audio system or a 20k dollar player piano, I would go with the piano. Second, in thinking about songs I was going to first play, I thought of "Kara Remembers" as by Joohyun Park and Bear McCreary along with other similar songs. I don't expect that it would sound equal to a live performance but I dont think it will disappoint either, I won't rule out that possibility either. Time will tell.
Regards,
JD

As a keen piano player myself I do know what to listen for. Firstly and most importantly, every real piano sounds different, even two of the same model. Secondly, Recording techniques have improved but recording a live instrument, particularly the piano is still a long way from perfect. Finally I find a piano won’t sound right unless played at the right volume. A piano is not a quiet instrument.
The golds do a VERY good job of piano reproduction in my opinion.
