EastWest Sounds Steinway D Platinum

Bright, regal and elegant. The Steinway D captures the full sound of the concert hall and grows into a space larger than life.

In the hands of a composer, it’s an excellent way to bring one of the world’s most famous pianos into your own studio; in the hands of a skilled performer, it’s a highly powerful weapon in your arsenal.
