[RWP] Decent sounding accessible VST for piano

[TheOreoMonster]

I suggest this only cuz i know you are a mac user.  If you can bounce the project down to a stereo file, drop it into garage band  plug in a mid keyboard and go. Garage band has access to a lot o the logo sounds and Some say those are the best peiano sounds they heard free or paid. We pretty much use GB for  this purpose in productions around these parts. XLN Audio, the people behind Addictive drums now has  Addictive keys.   No word on accessibility, but also great sounds and demo available.
