Even Precisionsound warns the misguided that Ostlind Compact Piano is not a perfectly tuned classical grand piano library. What it lacks in grandeur, however, it makes up for in droves -- with character.

This sample library features a compact, five-octave piano that proudly displays its natural detune as if it were the Oliver Cromwell of piano libraries. While classical purists may scoff, more popular and uptempo styles that benefit from a lack of pompous polish could benefit from just this kind of piano.

When all is said and done and the dust settles, Ostlind Compact Piano includes 557 samples, all in 24-bit stereo WAV. Each includes pedal up, pedal down and releases. The 16-bit SoundFont version has trio of aforementioned inclusions separated into three programs.
