Apparently some companies that do MIDI file sampling have chosen to sample some Malmsjo pianos. From what I could see from looking around a little the sound of these has been very popular with players. Here is one such that gives a little history of the company (don't know where they got it): http://www.soniccontrol.com/tech/midi/articles/samplecds/malmsjo.shtml Here's a site that has some samples that you can download so that you can compare Steinway, Yamaha, and Malmsjo: http://www.pianostudio.co.uk/performer.php And finally, here's a site where they talk about recording samples from a Malmsjo grand and give some pictures: http://www.hastmassoren.com/demos/StudioGrand88.pdf I'd be interested in knowing more about this company if anybody has any sources.
