Don't think so it's the Italian F piano on the SE.

Every SGX Piano program has access to “piano type” list .
It is a list of 64 slots with every Piano type that kronos offers.
Austrian grand is on the list but i never purchased it.
So i selected Austrian grand as a piano type for my Berlin grand Piano and there was no sound. It says Austrain grand or Italian but has no sound. I set it back to Berlin or Japanese or German and i get sound.
The samples are not there, just the reference to the samples and name for the Austrian piano type slot.
Italian Grand the same, is there as piano type named but only in reference and not with the actual samples.
Every Piano type slot is filled, all 64...or is it less than 64? So no room for more to be added but the slots include Austrian and Italian already, should you decide to buy and install the samples..

Does this mean we can delete the related EX libraries for Pianos that do not actually have samples sounding out on Kronos?
Maybe not. The “piano type” list in SGX may be relying on the EX library referencing data to fill its slots. And the related piano type info could be removed from the “piano type” list in SGX if its EX library is deleted from disk mode and autoload.

Easy test is to delete the library on a duplicate PCG loaded or remove it via global sample manage list and then have a look at the SGX program “piano type” list to see if changes happen.
If unwanted changes happen, then load back the original PCG who’s duplicate was altered.

I did an auto load setup of Preload, and two added EX libraries from Korg shop, and then some User sample files, then i did a “Save All” for that and then removed everything from my auto load list and added only the KSC file from my latest save all. Even factory preload was removed from Auto load.
And that custom “save all” file had all my preload, extra EX libraries and User samples content merged into one KSC file.
So i now load only that one KSC file with a custom name and i have full factory content and my custom samples plus the extra EX libraries from Korg shop.

There is a lot of flexibility for sample management and auto load files and that added to Disk mode file management flexibility.
As long as you make backups to disk mode of every version of loadings you use and manage, you can try any kind of unload, delete, add or remove in global mode sample management.
No need delete or remove any EX files in disk mode. Just remove in Sample management of global mode and then save the end result as a custom PCG or “Save All” file. If you do not like it in the end, you can load the original version back from its place of being backed up in disk mode.

Of course only what you have backed up in disk mode will have a place of being backed up in disk mode. No shame in stating the obvious and repeating it a few times like a broken record. Especially when it means well against risk of costly mistakes waiting to happen in file and sample management projects.

Ok first you are completely ignorant to an intelligent conversation and you have no solutions everything you said I already know.

I was talking about Preload in Global Mode deleting the AG EX 12.

Thanks for your input but don't need your broken record attitude! Neither does anyone on the forum!

I played with IG yesterday a little bit. I agree that it sounds superb and really cuts through the mix.

I found it to be a little weaker in the lower keys when compared to the Berlin Grand, the BG sounds maybe fuller and richer to me.

All in all a great all around piano library but in my case it’s nout enough to pony up the money given that I’m still to put the Berlin grand through it’s paces and the Japanese can cut through the mix when needed.

I agree, it is the best Kronos piano so far. It's balanced in every sense of the word and pretty much the most versatile of all Kronos pianos.

Even for solo work, i seem to prefer it over the German Grand and that says a lot.

As for the price ? Not impressed!
