Review Snippets

  • I recently purchased the PianoTeq 7 Studio Bundle and this new piano was automatically added when I updated to 7.3.0 - This Petrof Mistral sounds amazing. Thanks again from a very happy customer :).
  • Pianoteq Petrof 284 Mistral excels in textures, colors, tone, and expression.
  • Pianoteq consistently raises the bar with each new model.
  • Petrof 275 is my favorite and go to piano on Pianoteq, cannot wait to try this new Mistral "fresh wind" next weekend... Thanks to Modartt!
  • I’ve just got this! It is so amazing. Actually I feel my piano sounds from modartt have a little bit course resonance, I like them though, but the new one gives me another feeling. It has clear and pure resonance. I love it. Thank you Modartt!
  • Great, I have the PTQ 7 and the Petrof 275 so it is a no-brainer!
  • This time you have not 'forced' me to buy another piano VST... I had it already! But you make it sound so nice, great job!
  • Sometimes i watch reviews of things i already own just for self-verification. I'm not disappointed.
  • Still prefer pianoteq steinway d's... but this piano sounds great! Deep bass.
  • I play it myself. I just don't comprehend any improvement on sound. Ver 7 was great...I guess if there is an improvement it isn't a striking improvement.
  • I think that the artificial sound feeling has decreased. I wish there was a 1:1 comparison review.
  • This Petrof is the most realistic Pianoteq piano so far. Still there is quite a bit of artificialness present especially at higher velocities. Also, there isn't enough life and air in Pianoteq in general. These pianos sound a bit choked. Playability is amazing though. Hopefully the sound becomes mor
  • New York Steinway has a different warmth compared to Pianoteq Petrof 284 Mistral.
