British virtual instrument maker, Westwood Instruments, has released ALT Piano, a Kontakt instrument that brings an old 60s upright piano to your DAW.

The brand specialises in recording instruments that are imperfect by nature and transforms them into playable virtual instruments. ALT Piano is no different, recorded in two different ways – once with felt and once without. This provides two different characters: “soft and beautiful or bright and lively – or blend between the recordings to achieve a tone unlike anything else”, Westwood Instruments says.
