Yes, the mono recorded piano samples are actually pretty good as well. No compromise like with many other DP, but very well balanced acoustic piano sounds. Quite useful when only mono amplification is available. The GS is actually my new swiss army keyboard. The piano sounds are actually very good, but there is also a large selection of very good quality basses sound for your left hand whenever you play without a bass player. In most situations I don"t need any more to carry on a second keyboard for synthe Leads or string/pads as the GS provide every sound I really need for Live situations. I feel the GS as an overall improvement in term of sounds , ease of use and flexibility over my previous keyboards : like Nord stages...., Roland RD..., and Physis piano.
