Thanks to the efforts of Luigi in Italy here a link to a free download of a set containing some worthwhile acoustic pianos within the limits of your 64M Ram memory. In particular Yamaha 1 and Steinway RX are worth giving it a go !!
Thank you Luigi. For those who do download his efforts, please leave your comments overhere.

Many readers, not many takers ?
Does this mean no one has tried it out?
Luigi would like to hear from those who have though ☺☺☺

I've tried them and they sound OK to me (not great, not bad).
Unfortunately, the 'Yamaha' sample drops some notes in the higher octave sometimes.
'Steinway' is better sounding to my ears.

I didn't load any of the other samples.

For some songs/genres, these piano samples are worth trying.
I don't think they're better than the factory ones, but they do sound different.
So you have more samples to choose from, which is great of course.
And of course you can combine them with other (factory) samples to create new performances.

I'm sorry, it's the steinway rx sample dropping notes in the highest octave, not the yamaha sample.
Steinway sounds a bit better to my ears.
But with the notes dropping, it's not very useful for me (onfortunately)
