The Struck Grand

A prepared and extended-technique piano library for full Kontakt, sampled from a 1926 Steinway Model L: mallet strikes, finger mutes, plucks, steel-slide bends, string scrapes, harmonics, metal-hammer hits and glisses (4,127 samples, 9.53 GB), plus 77 ambience patches and 20 processed presets.

How to use it in horror

Scrape the bass strings and add a slow steel-slide bend for a groaning, out-of-tune undertone in an old-house scene, with metal-hammer hits as sudden accents.
