Wanna make a thread with piano VST related Black Friday offers? I came across Sampletekk's sale, they have some pretty ridiculous discounts right now: https://www.sampletekk.com/specialsProbably nothing that would be in the most often recommended lists on here, but might still be worth a look because it's so super cheap right now.

Great idea! I'm waiting for some of the big ones though, such as Garritan CFX, etc.

The only instrument in the Sampletekk sale, that caught my interest, is the Blue Grand. The White Grand, which I got for $39, with the Black Grand included, is sampled from the same piano.
So the Blue Grand is a watered-down version of the White Grand. I can probably make the White sound like the Blue, by dropping an EQ on it.

Uhhh ... these aren't "deals". This is just a case of tossing out old sneakers that nobody wanted.

Production Voices have a few deals, will be adding more next week, and a couple of exclusive deals on Black Friday, according to an email from Jason. https://www.productionvoices.com/

This scoring piano sounds really like what I like on a piano  What about half pedaling? repedaling? I can't find any information on these points

I can't find any information on these points The Fluffy Scoring piano is fantastic. $53.90 is an absolute bargain. Very flexible in shaping the tone & stereo image/depth with 3 mic perspectives. From memory it does re-pedalling well - not sure about half pedalling. The demos sound pretty mellow, but there is a lot of dynamic range in the sampling (around 20+ layers I believe) so it can really 'bite' when you dig in.

Fluffy Audio? Never heard of it, that name doesn't sound too serious.

For stuff like that, I use Revolut... look it up! I got fed up of price hikes (such as you have highlighted above) when paying for products/services in GBP.
Learning to play. Consciously incompetent, which apparently is a good starting point.

Scoring Piano now $49 (and My Piano $29) when I go there. Ivory II Studio Grands for $149 seems a better deal though.

Is that the full version? Well, 20% off. Anyone think there will be a better Black Friday deal on Garritan CFX coming?

Native instruments have 50% off most of their stuff. For example Una Corda £64.50 instead of £129 The Giant £44.50 instead of £89 I see they also now have “Komplete Start†which is free for anyone, here’s their vid on it https://youtu.be/MJ3qRPT7YxkArturia also has a Black Friday deal on. Can get the full “V Collection 7†for €299 Instead of €499 Just upgraded my v6 for to v7 for just €99, was worth it for the Mellotron
