Piano Power, Precisely Sampled

The Concert D is a masterpiece of both sound and design. To capture its full range of nuances, Vienna’s engineers developed a highly precise motion-control system featuring a solenoid-operated, noise-free “robot finger.” This micro-controller moves the finger with superhuman precision, allowing for flexible curvatures in both key down-strokes and release movements. While offering fewer velocity layers than the premium Synchron Concert D-274 collection, this “Essentials” version delivers breathtaking realism. Recorded in the exceptional acoustics of the expansive main hall of Vienna Synchron Stage – renowned for its warm, transparent, and natural sound – this space serves as the perfect backdrop for the majestic D-274.
