Introducing the first Stereo Piano of Second Life!
Due to SL restrictions, all instruments in SL play in Mono mode. Are you bored of these flat sounds? I was bored, too. That's why i've created this Grand Stereo Piano. Instead of a single sound emitter, it has 2 sounds emitters, one on each side of the Grand Piano. And each one plays its own left or right channel. You can now enjoy music in Second Life!
But that's not all: beside playing in Stereo, sounds emitters are configured to produce an immersive reverb effect. Even if you decide to switch back to Mono mode, you will be able to enjoy a very good sound...
Warning: in some laggy sims, the Stereo mode can be laggy. In this case, the Piano Menu allows you to switch to Mono mode anytime...
ADDITIONAL SPEAKERS - ENJOY MUSIC ALL AROUND
______________________________________________
If you click the "Speakers" button in the menu, two additional Speakers will appear around the Grand Piano. You can move these Speakers anywhere you want (max distance: 50 meters).
For example, you can have the Grand Piano in your living room, and the Speakers in your bedroom! Speakers play in Stereo as well!
The User guide inside this package will explain how to move the Speakers.
FOR ONE OR TWO PLAYERS... OR LIKE A MUSIC BOX!
______________________________________________
One or two people can sit at the Grand Piano and play.
The Grand Piano can also be used as a simple "Music box": no need to sit on it for playing songs! You can just touch it and pick a song.

The best piano in SL.
Best sound quality, best song selection, best feature set, one of the faster responding and loading (not the fastest since it's calling UUIDs instead of playing music files directly, but it works very well, and you can rarely notice it loading.) I've seen. All the scripting and music in this is very well done.
The only ways it could be improved are:
More animations, bonus points if they are tied to the songs played so you speed up and slow down as the music does, but even just being able to manualy change the pace between Fur Elise and Flight of the Bumblebee would be nice. The animation is somewhere in the middle, so it seems slow on some and fast on others, but never so far off it looks completely off.
A decent wooden texture. The black looks good enough, but there's not a nice wooden finish for this, having something like walnut or even just a generic brown wood would help it to fit with more decor than it does now. There are a *lot* of color options, but aside from black and white they're all pretty bright, you can't tint the white one since the whole piano is one texture face and if you add a darker color to it everything from the keys to the strings change making it look plastic at best so I end up putting a black pianno in a room full of walnut furniture.
Having an upright version. This thing is pretty big and trying to fit it in a room can be dificult, if there were an upright model it would be a wonderful addition (or alternative) to this as it would fit in *many* more places than a full size grand piano. plus, I mean, with songs like The Entertainer and Maple Leaf Rag you just need to have a saloon-ready version of it XD
Excellent !
Bravo ! Merci ! C'est exactement ce que je recherchais pour mon salon ! Très bon choix de morceaux classiques en intégralité (et non sur un extrait en boucle comme des boîtes à musique), le son est super (surtout avec des headphones). Merci pour l'idée de pouvoir placer les enceintes où l'on veut, c'est bien expliqué pour déballer le matériel sans tout casser (ma hantise quand j'édite un objet !) et ça devient magique quand on se déplace dans la pièce. Bonne idée aussi de pouvoir laisser le piano jouer seul comme un piano mécanique de saloon, on peut avoir besoin de faire autre chose dans la pièce que s'asseoir au clavier. 5 étoiles sans hésiter car je ne vois rien à redire (et pourtant je critique toujours). Ha si : dommage que l'animation du pianiste ne soit pas adaptée au rythme de la mélodie jouée, mais là je pense que c'est trop demander (vous voyez que je critique toujours !). Encore merci !
The most magnificent piano in SL
The quality of this piano is so amazing that you have to see and hear it to believe it. A big, beautiful piano, animations, and a large selection of songs, in stereo! Plus it comes in a gorgeous variety of colors for any mood and decor! All of Aglaia's products are wonderful, yet she continues to enchant us with something new and unique and clever each time :D
The best Sl piano i have played.
This piano is wonderfully made. The stereo sound is beautiful and realistic. Also, has a wonderful selection of songs to play. This piano plays without flaws.
