Free Piano and Guitar Soundfonts

Post by Reuben »

I have spent a bit of time perfecting a really nice Steinway Grand Piano Soundfont I found from this site http://www.anthonydeaton.com/philharmonic.html

My amendments include adding two new presets (Steinway Bright and Steinway Classic) as well as some improvements to the velocity switching.

You can download the zipped version (264mb) from here:

I have the full versions of Korg Module and iGrand and my favorite piano is now the free Steinway.

If you don't have a soundfont player I can highly recommend bs-16i from Bismark which you can download from the app store for about $15.

The Steinway is astounding in detail (every note is sampled and some samples are over 60 seconds in length!). It feels very natural to play and is quite dynamic over different velocities.
I have run it on both the iPhone 6s and the ipad air2 and it performs without latency.
I hope you enjoy.

I have now created a website for sharing quality soundfonts including Guitars, Piano and General Midi and the Piano soundfont has been updated to include a Honky Tonk version. See the following link:
