What's your favorite grand piano?

I loaded a new stage setting into 0-0   :blink:  I thought I was loading it into 9-9.

 

So instead of loading the stock 0-0 grand, I was wondering what others had for their favorite?  Looking for a nice, full impressive sound... 

 

OH, and how do i load the old 0-0 back in if i don't have the zpf file for it?  I have the orig zal file.. can i load it from that without loading all orig presets?

 

Dl'd most piano/grands and liking the ConcertD2.  Thanks for the link Mike... I couldn't remember where it was.  Between he Facebook and Casio posts, I can't keep them straight.

Okay, I'm a newbie, so take this for what it's worth, but so far I find the GrandRhodes2 to be amazing.  I volunteer weekly at our local hospital in the Complimentary Therapies department and much of the music I play is therapeutic in nature.  The GrandRhodes2 is a bit much for the hospital venue, so that is where HerbiesRdPhz comes it.  It is a bit lighter, and very sweet.  But at home, I find the GrandRhodes2 is on much of the time. 

 

For my grand piano sounds, I have become smitten with GrndConzrtD1.  Very full and rich.  I like it a lot.  I also like the Nord2GrndPad and The_Pianist2  in those situations where I want a big bottom end.  But when I am not playing the Rhodes, I find that GrndConzrtD1 is selected.  GrndConsrtD1 and GrandRhodes2 are my favorites two weeks into my journey with the PX-5S.  That's my story.....

 

Oh, why did I wait so long to buy the PX-5S......?????

ok i love the concert D2 as mentioned above. i took some of the other piano sounds and simply edited the master eq to match the D2 and that seems to be what makes the difference. So i suggest people try changing the master eq to equal the D2 as a base point to mod off.

It depends on the D2 have played with the EQ on the other Pianos i have tried to make some undelaying stuff to simulate .resonance or hammer or deeper bass and other stuff it is a matter of hearing and like it or not ...so i think every patch has to be your personal like it or not patch ,,,,
