A Brand New Grand: Timeless Tone, Redefined
The Heart of EZkeys 2
A grand piano is more than an instrument—it’s a cornerstone of songwriting and musical expression. EZkeys 2 introduces a stunning new core library featuring an exquisitely sampled grand piano, offering a tonal palette suited for virtually any genre or mood.
About the Instrument: Fazioli F212
Meticulously crafted over three years in Sacile, Italy, the Fazioli F212 represents the pinnacle of piano artistry. This medium-sized grand piano boasts:
- Balanced and Responsive Tone: Ideal for expressive performances, from thunderous power to delicate subtlety.

Specifications
- Dimensions: 212 cm (L) × 153 cm (W) × 98 cm (H)
- Soundboard: Made from red spruce sourced from Val di Fiemme, Italy.
- Mechanics: Renner actions and hammers ensure unmatched playability and nuance.
The Mics & The Room
The F212 was recorded with a versatile mic setup to provide a diverse range of tones and ambiance.
Spot Mics
- Hammers:
- Mics: Stereo pair of Thuresson CM402 large diaphragm microphones.
- Purpose: Captures the direct, detailed impact of the hammer strikes.

Why This Grand Piano Stands Out
- Expressive Versatility: Suitable for all genres and styles, from classical compositions to contemporary tracks.
- Authentic Sonic Palette: A thoughtfully designed mic setup ensures an unmatched tonal range.
- Premium Craftsmanship: Built and sampled with meticulous attention to detail for a truly iconic sound.
