My Piano vs Originals Mrs Mills Piano

The fundamental difference between these two upright piano VSTs lies in their historical context and sonic character, with one offering a general intimate upright sound and the other providing a distinct, historically famous instrument. My Piano by Fluffy Audio aims for a natural, balanced tone suitable for delicate and classical music, while Originals Mrs Mills Piano captures the unique bright, metallic sound of a specific Steinway Vertegrand from Abbey Road Studio Two.

My Piano, a free Kontakt instrument, emphasizes realistic emulation through features like internal resonances, sympathetic and pedal resonance, and even "occasional crackles" to simulate live performance imperfections. It comes with 6 velocity layers and a library size of 1.7 GB. In contrast, the budget-priced Originals Mrs Mills Piano, at 4.52 GB and featuring 3 mic positions, is a dedicated plugin that provides the exact sound of the piano used on many '60s pop records, specifically citing its lacquered hammers for its characteristic bright tone.

Choose My Piano if you need a versatile, intimate, and free upright piano VST with realistic acoustic details for general recording, film scoring, or classical and jazz pieces. Opt for Originals Mrs Mills Piano if you specifically desire the iconic, bright, and characterful sound of the Steinway Vertegrand from Abbey Road Studio Two, particularly for pop music, film scoring, or to evoke a vintage "60s era" aesthetic.
