peter replied to the topic TONEX Month and IK virtual instruments as low as $/€29.99 in the forum Virtual & Physical Music Gear Deals
It is very sweet to see the Pianoverse pianos selling for $29.99! That’s definitely tempting me. I’d love to hear from anyone who has these. I mainly do rock and folk-ish rock / singer songwriter productions. I’d love to get some recommendations. Even though I have a great Yamaha Grand, I really like the demos of Grand Piano Y7.

I am caught between these two names for the official LinkedMusicians stuffed bear. I want a name that's silly and fun -- and of course ties into the LinkedMusicians brand.

I promise to include this bear in future photos and video. What do you think? If you have more suggestions, please post 'em! FTR, the name will only be shown on the listing, not the bear itself.
Which name do you prefer for the official LinkedMusicians stuffed bear?1 Comment -

For the record, I even told Peter_IK, how I respect him and know he’s dealt with a lot of BS over the years.

peter replied to the topic 🔥 Érard Grand Piano 1873 by realsamples $19.95 reg. $119.95 in the forum Virtual & Physical Music Gear Deals
I did especially enjoy @simeon giving a history lesson on the piano and a tutorial on the internal mechanical workings of pianos. As the son of a piano teacher, it reminded me of my childhood! For $19.95 US this is extremely tempting. I’m just trying to consider how the tone of the instrument would fit into the contexts where I would use it –…Read More
