Modern Upright, by.....MILES, IMO. But, then I don't know which side you might call bias on, but I own a Yamaha U3. It's not QUITE as spot on as the Synthology U5 (same piano fancier cosmetics)....but I replayed a track I'd spent all day mic'ing the U3 for...and it was really hard to tell them apart. Obviously to PLAY the real thing is a different story....but, in terms of sonic results....?
Meanwhile, I found their Steinway Grand not as good as ANY of the three I use....and the Rhodes/Wurlitzer, and I have SEVERAL better options. I sorta don't remember the cp80 because I never dug the real ones, so....
However, it should be noted that an upright is a different beast than a grand. so, if you like the pianos on the last Adele....Gabe Dison....the u3 is the coolest Hong since sliced bread right now....because sampled grands have gotten so generically good...,I digress....listen to the clips. YOu may hate the sound of a U3....but, I can vouch for it producing damn similar results.

The Modern Upright sounded the best/most useful to me too. Looks like we've got a winner. Can't beat the price either. |

I also liked the Modern Upright most.
...plus, it seems like I see fewer good upright VSTis than grands or electric pianos/rhoades.

Damn. Gonna have to check that one out again. Every time I've pulled up the grand, I tended to move on.

I would move on from the grand, too.
