At last, you are able to get the full White Grand set . The White Grand II including both the White Grand and it's Sister!

You'll get two full pianos, the White Grand, with it's edge and the White Sister who adds just a bit more mellow....

You get an astonishing 32 different velocity samples, not only layers, but 32 DIFFERENT samples per note, (plus 4 release samples).
This gives you a control over the dynamics that surpasses all today existing sampled pianos.

The instrument was recorded in Studio Kuling, Sweden, in a room specially built and designed to record acoustic instruments.
All equipment used where chosen to deliver the best result possible.


"The White Grand is the best piano sample I have heard. It sits beautifully in a mix, as well as alone. It actually sounds alive!" - Paul Linford; film composer, mixer, programmer for Trevor Rabin

"I had no idea a sampled piano could be this good. It was as if someone told me they had a guitar, and what they showed me was a '54 Strat." - Trevor Rabin; Film Composer, Guitarist

"In the professional world we don't have time to waste in the studio, so when I need an acoustic piano, I always start with White Grand - it just works. It's presence and brightness is hard to achieve with other piano samples" - Jermey Whaley; producer, composer, musician

"Probably the very best pop/studio piano that has ever been released. In terms of its evenness and playability, and its consistency of presence from pp to fff, I think it is the best piano sample that has ever been released, period." - Bruce Richardson; composer, sound designer, music-technology guru.

Here's what Steve have to say about the White Grand: "I loved how the White grand cuts. I tend to be a pretty aggressive player, and I like how the piano reacts when I hit hard - It jumps out and comes to life - just like a real piano."

That's great news! Will it also be available from Time & Space (the White Sister isn't at the moment)? Then I'll immediately change my order.

It's a 9 feet Malmsjo from the mid 20's. Really, really great tone! One of my absolute favourites!

I ordered the White Grand from a dutch dealer of Time & Space. They don't have it in yet (Time & Space still marks the White Grand as "available soon"), so I don't think it should be a big problem to change my order into "White Grand II".

My main question is if the White Grand II will be available from Time & Space because they also don't seem to sell the White Sister.

Like a hot knife through butter....
I've recently spoken with a couple of producers here in Sweden who uses the White Grand in their production. One of them are "Stockholm Hit Record" and they use it regulary. The other one used it on Bjorn Skifs latest CD, you non-swede's might not know him, but maybe those of you who are "grown up" might remember the song "Hooked on a feeling" with a group called "Blue Swede" that was #1 in the US charts in the 70's. Yep, that's him!
