Insights from Real-World Use
Strengths
- love Electric Pianos and Hohner collection
- highly recommend both electric sets (EP collection and Hohner)
Weaknesses
- not heard a lot of good demos
Tone: twangy, reedy
Review Snippets
- Positive opinion on the twangy, reedy sound of the Pianoteq Hohner Collection's Pianet N wired preset.
- Yep I love Pianoteq but when I did my unlock I bought the Hohner and Classic Guitar collections instead and am sticking with Just Piano for my Pianos. As well.
- collection, even before ... (See also: Modartt Pianoteq, which, among lots of common and archaic pianos and historical instruments, also does the Hohner.).
- If you'd be interested in other ones than the acoustic grands, I can highly recommend both electric sets (EP collection and Hohner).
- Petrov, Kremsegg Collection #2, Electric Pianos and Hohner Collection. http ... I'm going to change my review of Pianoteq on my older hardware!!!
- What are the Modartt Pianoteq EPs and Hohner models like? I've not heard a lot of good demos I think. If these Klevgrand ones are half decent and get ported.
- it depends on you music preferences, but i love Electric Pianos and Hohner collection.
- The Soniccouture clav pack is a bit expensive and i would like to have some review if some of you bought it to see if it's worth it... The hohner collection.
