From what I can hear it's probably more suited for classical or solo piano work as opposed to sitting in the mix with an electric band. Thanks for posting this. Poly

Classical and solo piano is really what I wanted it for. I have other pianos I can use for various mixes. I think Glennbo is right- a cheaper piano sample allot of times can play better in mixes. I hope this piano can work with acoustic guitar, bass, and drums. M.F.
