The American Concert D features a 49GB library, the largest single-piano recording in the Ivory II series. This American Steinway is known for its naturally long sustain, capturing every note, even the final decay. Some notes even last for over two minutes. These long samples were recorded at over 20 velocity levels, and even more recordings of the soft pedal's tone and the changes in tone upon pedal release were included than in the previous Ivory II.
